Education is the answer.
For several years, my wife, Sue, has helped support “Stop Girl Trafficking†through the American Himalayan Foundation. The program provides scholarship money to Nepali girls for books, uniforms and transportation. While in Nepal last week, we had an opportunity to visit with several young women who have been receiving scholarships to stay in school and continue their education. We met an amazing group of young women who told us how the program has helped change their lives. They were confident, poised and articulate. And, incredibly grateful for the opportunity to simply go to school.
What we saw was a program which works.  Join Sue and me and give the girls a hand.
