“I spent July 2010 volunteering at the hostel in Chaparda. I have fond memories of my stay there, and I think the experience will stay with me forever. The girls’ contagious smiles and enthusiasm; their love for art, music and dance; their ambition and drive (whether their dream was to become a doctor or an air hostess); and their playful and friendly nature have left an everlasting impression on me. Mukti Trust has given these girls great opportunities to excel and enjoy a well-rounded upbringing; they have an interesting and varied daily timetable, great facilities and a welcoming environment, where they can enjoy their childhood. I hope to go back and visit the girls very soon; I now consider them as dear friends”.
