  There was a time when Shopna stopped coming.The kids asked me to talk to her dad.He sold vegetables in the market. When I met him, he explained that his elder brother (a sort of father figure)wanted Shopna to marry his son. Shopna's mother was not keen on this, and together we talked to Shopna's dad. I do not know if it was the talking that did it, but Shopna was not married off. Instead she now works fourteen hours a day in a garment factory! There is so much more to be done!
