Hey! Just thought I'd give you a quick update and tell you about a project we have going on to help the trafficked girls of Nepal.
This past week we had our Family Care training, so our staff from India joined us here in Kathmandu. We went over everything Global Family is doing, why we do it, and what we want to get done. We have lots of new children to be sponsored now. I have entered them in on the website if you are interested. http://www.myglobalfamily.org/.
Next week I'll be visiting our children from Bhaktapur and hopefully I'll be able to do an Easter Program with them.
Ok, that's all that's going on for now. I've included what Jennifer Jensen has written about the Daughter Project below.
Talk to you all soon!!
Hello everyone!
The Daughter Project is underway here in Nepal. This is a project to prevent the trafficking and abuse of Nepali girls. Every year, it is reported that between 5000 to 7000 girls are trafficked from Nepal into Indian brothels. This project addresses the issue of human trafficking at its source. These four components give hope to girls and their families before it's too late:
1. Awareness - 9 outreach teams that target at risk communities work along the Nepal/India border to inform families about the dangers of child trafficking. This is done with the help of Daughter Tool Kits including CD's, flip charts, and 'hotline' cards in 9 different districts.
2. Rescue - In cooperation with local authorities, these outreach teams will rescue girls being trafficked. Reconciliation with family is the desired outcome, however, this is not always an option. In that case, we care for the girls in Rescue/Refuge centers while we find families who will take them in.
3. Family Care - Global Family has made a commitment to the long term care of up to 100 girls who are unable to return to their own families through the course of this campaign.
4. Business Training & Micro-Finance - The aim is to increase a family's monthly income by $8 which will enable them to keep their daughter(s) at home.
In 2009, we expect to bring awareness to hundreds of families, rescue over 300 girls, place 100 girls into our family care program, and help many families increase their monthly income through small business initiatives.
Please consider being a part of this project. It costs approximately $375 to rescue a child...our Daughter Project budget for 2009 is approximately $37,500. We need your help!
100% of your donation goes directly to the child, and all donations will be receipted for tax purposes.

Hi Janna, It is such a blessing, as well as encouraging, to see how God is using you in India. We will continue to pray for you and the work that is being done there.
Love,
The Landeros family
your family in Christ...
Ephesians 1:15-23
15For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[f] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
Thanks for the updates! We've got your picture up in the office next to a picture of Israel -- people we love who are far away. I love hearing about the work you're doing and seeing all the pics.
