In Western Nepal, many families subsist as farm laborers. Unable to make ends meet, they have been forced into a desperate trade—selling their daughters to work far from home as bonded servants in private homes or as dishwashers in tea houses. Some of these children are as young as six.
Alone and far from home, these "indentured daughters" have no knowledge of the ways of city people or of other cultures, and most speak only the local dialect. Their living conditions are entirely at the discretion of their employers. The girls seldom attend school and have no prospects for a decent future. Some are ultimately forced into prostitution.
Working closely with local communities, the Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation (NYOF) provides a creative, humane alternative for these families, helping them keep their daughters at home and putting the girls in school. Visit http://www.nyof.org to learn more.
Great and educational theatre.

In the U.S. many simply don't know the conditions these girls face. I'll do all I can to let the world know.
