This is done in that they save underage girls, provide them with effective rehabilitation, and criminally prosecute the perpetrators of the sex trade. Our team will be involved in the After-the rescued girls. The home has established the follow-up, the Freedom Firm, the girls are provided with vocational training, education, counseling and health care in a safe environment. In addition, the girls an opportunity in the summer at an annual Camp participate ....
And that's what we're doing in INDIA. Together with the Freedom Firm employees, we will work with the girls various topics (beauty, truth, hope), eating, making music, play games and have creative handicraft work.
The whole thing will be a real CAMP, ie tents without electricity slightly higher in the mountains, which is an adventure:)
hurts our heart with the girls who had to endure so much suffering and pain and our concern is the girls with God's love and restoration überschuetten and to give them new hope!
