After a well deserved reminder about the house rule’s (nothing more to say…), we presented our Human Right’s assignments. The groups had made plays, power-point, quiz etc. After the presentations we went down to the TV-room to watch “Born into brothel”. After many technical difficulties, we were finally apple to see the documentary about an American woman, who tries to help Indian sex worker’s kids by teaching them how to photograph. Unfortunately we did not have time to see the whole documentary, because of an early lunch. At 1.00 pm we had to leave the platform to visit Raksha Nepal, a center who provides care and support for sexually exploited girls, women and their children. We had planned some games and social activities for these kids – and what a welcome we received! The founder of the organization told us that the children had taken a day off because we came to play with them. After a short introduction to the organizations work and ideas it was time to meet the 4 to 12 years old children.
The room were the children was supposed to be in was very silent – until the children saw us, then we were overwhelmed with excitement and “NAMESTE, NAMESTE!!!” Without a doubt a very emotional greeting for all of us! After the traditional “we-are-glad-you-came-to-visit-ceremony”, with blessing and scarf, it was time to play. Even though many of us were a bit marked after last night’s adventures, it was an amazing experience!
The evening ended early, because the majority had to get a good night sleep, so they were ready for trekking in Nepal’s many mountains.
