In America: the amount of students attending a medium-sized university, the population of Durango, Colorado, and three-fourths of the crowd at a sold-out Denver Nuggets NBA Basketball game.
In Nepal: the amount of girls that are sold into the sex-trade EVERY YEAR!
That’s 1,250 girls every month, 41 girls a day, and 3 girls every 2 hours that are uprooted from their homes in mountain villages and taken away from a life they will never know again, to be sold into the ever-increasing sex trade across the border in India and beyond.
We knew “about” this problem before coming to Nepal, but as we have been here the past nine weeks we have come up-close and personal to this tragic situation that is plaguing the country right now. Over the next few months, we will share with you what we have learned, seen, and felt . . .
. . .and a way to help.
Wow that's crazy had no idea it was that much! So sad...
