Today I met Maya*. At the age of 13 she was forcibly recruited into the Maoist army (the Maoists had a habit of recruiting many young girls during the ten-year civil war in Nepal) and was later forced into prostitution. She is now safe after having received shelter, counseling, and skills-training from Raksha Nepal (the organization I am interning with). What do you say to a young spirit that has been so violated? I don’t think that there are enough words to make amends for what she has been through.

Sending her and all these girls positive love energy from this side...I hope that she is re-cooping as well as she can..
