girls bridge course camp

Here are some pics of the girls camp that I stayed at for a few days. These girls are here for 6-18 mths to catch up in school b/c they were child labourers. Many of them also lived on the street and 13 of them are married. The last picture is of a mother, grand-mother and two girls who came to look at the camp. The older girl had been working but now the mother wants to send her to the camp. But the grandmother wants to get her married. (dowry increases as the girl gets older). Thankfully, the mother allowed her to stay!
