Here is a link to NYOF profiled on our website http://www.pbs.org/now/enterprisingideas/nyof.html Poster: Janet Frase Comment: Daughters for Sale - As this has been a long-standing practice, what happens as the girls grow into adults? Do they remain as servants? Are they returning to their villages as adults? Poster: Virginia Abraham, LPN, CMT Comment: Incredibly inspiring. I thought being out of work was tough. Having slavery for a job is tougher! How wonderful a way to go into the Christmas holiday than to remember that mankind still is out to help those at the bottom of the ladder. Thank you, NOW. Poster: Diana Erickson Comment: This is the second time I have viewed this show. The first time I was compelled to get on a plane and go to Nepal to help Olga. I slept on it and it and the urgent need to help fadded away eventually. While watching thins evenings return to the subject, I was once again drawn to become physically involved. Can you connect me with someone to discuss the possibilities of participation besides donation Poster: C Modeen Comment: There is hope in the world after all--the 85 year olds that are the yeast, the families and their daughters that benefit--a light for us to grasp. Poster: Lesley Comment: When I saw the former slaves acting in plays, demonstrating the realities of their experiences, I realized there is more going on than simply educating the villagers. They are also treating themselves and each other for the PTSD that must very likely result from the abuse and helplessness they survived. Excellent therapeutic work. Poster: Bessie Frazier Comment: After viewing the show, I made a contribution to this most worthy cause. This piece was very educational and inspiring. It would make a great project for school, church and other social organizations to support. Poster: m.Halpern Comment: Excellent show. I'd like to contact the organization and make a donation on behalf of my 2 granddaughters. I hope to involve them in this as well. They are young, 11 and 7, but old enough to be sold in a different world. They'll get it, and hopefully will profit from thie involvement.Thanks for the shop. Poster: Fred Comment: Is indentured servitude the same as slavery? This question is hardly meant to be a defense of indentured servitude, but working a few months out of the year as a household servant may not be the same as, lets say, the American experience of race based bondage. Further, what will be the hopeful result of the education these village girls? Low paying office work in the city? While the good work of the NGOs should be rightfully noted as has been done on the show, still, something still remains missing from the story concerning reporting on how such programs are able to present a comprehensive, lasting, and positive alternative solution. Nonetheless, small steps are always welcome. Poster: Mary Lennon Comment: It wasn't until after the show that I realized that these Nepal families weren't sending boys to servitude and I wondered why only the girls. Is this a completely sexist society or what? What were 6 year old boys doing while their sisters were sent off to God knows what. I would like to hear more about this side of the story. Mary Poster: Janice Perkins Comment: I am a regular viewer of NOW and just wanted to say keep up the great work. The show on Daughters for Sale was stellar. But in general, there is a fantastic diversity between each shows. I can tune in each week without checking the topic because I know it will be interesting and thought-provoking, as well as thoroughly researched. I also love the new opening sequence with the fantastic music. Keep it up! Janice Poster: Karen Comment: My daghter is planning to go to Nepal in a few months to volunteer. This was very educational to me and reflected exactly what she has been telling me- Poster: j.hardiman Comment: Great show. How can I contact this organization? Poster: claire henrickson Comment: I suuport and NGO called the Little Sisters Fund, in Nepal. 2,500 will purchase 12 years of school. I paid for one girl to attend sshool until she is 18. Friends of mine have visited the institution there last year and met many of the girls including their own little sister. the Founder has been to my community and I have met him personally. His story is alos very compelling. claire |
