Unfortunately the girls always seem to feel the need to return home with something, even in our villagers the girls only eat half their meals so they can take the rest home to give to a boy in the family (even a cousin) just to feel (actually who knows what they feel) needed? Of all the meals we provide the girls always take it home and the boys eat it all, the girls take their vitamins home, anything we give them and always ask for clothes for brothers, male cousins etc.
we have just taken on a 10 year old that was, we believe prostituting herself, she only started to speak after 5 weeks, this morning at breakfast she was all smiles and chatty which was amazing, but she insists she works, we cant get her to stay in school, she cleans, she does the offerings, she just always wants to work, you can see the fear in her eyes if she is not useful to us, like we will just give her away.
