NEW FILM: WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
After seeing the devastating situation in Myanmar towards the end of 2022: with mothers selling children to traffickers, families trapped in endless debt bondage, children being forced to work or beg, and women and girls turning to survival sex to buy daily food, we have struggled to understand why families allow their children and themselves to turn to these very desperate acts.
In this, we felt to ask ourselves the question, "what would you do?". This broke our team as we began to put ourselves in the shoes of the families we are assisting and began to have a new revelation of what these families need and the importance of what we are doing in reaching them.
