"Sometimes they beat me with lengths of electrical cable and sometimes they punch me,"

"I was grinding a coconut and I wasn't doing it very well so they took a knife and cut me with it," she says.

"My mother is dead and my father doesn't care

for me. I would like to run away but I have

nowhere to go."

Our hearts are travel impaired.

Godʻs heart is everywhere.

What if it were your

daughter being forced to

work, being abused,

being alone.

What if it were Godʻs daughter?
