yesteday

here are some of the thoughts running through my mind, or things i heard yesterday when Beth and I were visiting the gach...

our lives will be so much richer if he works for us.

"but i don't know how to sew, how can i work for you?"

"i've worked here a year. i don't have any family."

she has an amazing smile

married when she was 14. had a child when she was 16, and 18 - and came to work in the trade soon after that...

there are cobwebs on the idols...

her father is dead. she has 6 sibblings. she supports her whole family.
she says she's 21, and she's been here for 3 years.

we're in way over our heads.

cuts up her arm. salt water thrown on the cuts. how is that okay?
