Sambhali Trust in October 2012

Hello dear Readers, I hope you all are fine!

I helped a 16 years old girl called Savita yesterday. I received a call from a friend working in electronic media about a girl roaming by herself around the Railway station of Jodhpur. We went from Sambhali Trust and helped her find safe refuge

. She was brought to Jodhpur by a "job placement agency based in Delhi" for being a domestic labor from Jharkhand (East of India). She was not treated well at this house she worked at and decided after a month to run away from there. By the recommendation of Child welfare committee we helped her get to the shelter home from the department of Social Justice and Empowerment.

Visitors:

 Group of 18 people coming from three different organizations on their exposure trip of four days to India and visited Sambhali Trust's urban and rural projects.

 Our Dear supporters of Sambhali Trust, we need your generous help to survive and sustain. Without your support and contribution we are not able to continue our projects. Please help us and help us share the link on your walls which will help spread the word women and girls empowerment.
