on my way to make a special group of children. the spies is quite important in the whole crisis of how things are it's to god that's right. i must say this is a transit high on the outskirts of katmandu all of the children here have been rescued from a legal orphanages are going to do try seeing how many ha they were trafficked from their villages deep in the mountains. with. the next big 10 year old davy is finding her voice again what about that one. who lives that's right. she's mischievous sometimes she cracks jokes she is very very friendly with all the
5:35 am
children and she just loves it carefree type of child she is so she's a bit of a character yeah she is is there and that. it's a lot to do that they're ok on this is going to be difficult that. they're mostly as a guard and want to play. despite everything she's been through davy hasn't lost. is a good visit or a good dream of home why i'm strong. more on. want to put that one. no i can't imagine how these young children between the age of 3 to 9 or 10 how can they be separated you know how can they live away for so many years so many months. yes that's in a few days the children will start the long trip back to their families so that's.
5:36 am
the poles mountain regions are as beautiful as they are pull opportunities here are few and. many parents in remote villages want to bet a lot for their children. often age recruiters pride on that just. families hand over this side of things on the promise of an education for their kids in kathmandu. but there's a catch. all orphanages might provide some schooling the children are falsely presented as all phones to attract foreign sponsors and volunteers. it's an industry
5:37 am
exploited by nepalis the driven by western democracies. we're trained in western countries to think a certain way about developing countries and one of those ways is that. often edges are a great way of caring for children who are who would otherwise be living in poverty and that in combination with the good intentions and the funding and the flow of volunteers just drives the separation of church or from their families. the cold hard facts there aren't enough often ends to volunteer with or fund this whole industry so the orphans of being invented they paid off and say our own friends made by their fortunate documentation i mean like. a struggling lawyer kate bedore speaks from 1st hand experience. yes in 2006 she
5:38 am
and some friends rise to funds to open an orphanage in kathmandu with an initial in type of 6 girls handed over by another institution. personally sponsored the smallest child 4 year old alicia. i felt a huge sense of responsibility towards here but i also wondered where her parents and why is she off and then we just ashamed to parents but dad she was too small to tell us otherwise for more than a decade cases maintained contact with alicia and the other girls. today their reuniting for the 1st time in 5 minutes.
5:39 am
with 2. so i don't. have a list to. make it in the. wild . families earth there. where mourners are going but and and in the red light rather than it. knows now that all of the girls have been living family it's. the ever seen again g.s.t. . in 2012 an order to reveal that being trafficked as paper before entering her can. we found fortran death certificates and birth certificates
5:40 am
. they found that the children's names had been changed to prevent a surprise family finding them and i thought if they've got family. there's no way that they should be here with us. if they've got family when we need to find a way to get them apart and. kate's organization forget me nots began the process of tracing the families they discovered alicia's parents had been searching for her for years and we got that news i remember crying when her father came to katmandu to see aleisha he hadn't seen her for 6 or 7 years and he kept her chin and he turned her head and she has
5:41 am
a scar just here and he touched a skier and then he lifted her forehead and she has a scar just from when she was obviously a small child and he said this is this is my child. you can't even if you did nothing else. was the most important. and the slowness of god. forgive me not has completely changed its mission from off an age to reuniting children with their families. and after living at home with her family for 4 years alicia has returned to katmandu to enroll in college and to mentor children like davey.
5:42 am
and me that if there are no foreign staff volunteers at the transit on the care is in the hands of nepalis they know what needs to be done today institutionalise this country they're on their way there and we just felt that it's more important to have a holy voice in that process than it is to have you on us west nile virus here but i wish that the staff carefully build trust with the children so they can try to find their families. when the children start trusting you justing us the team here then they start telling more stories about the previous orphanage or the family member's. andree one is helping to put the pieces back together but when you are able to reunite a child with her or his family i think is the best thing in the world that's how i feel and my team. was on that
5:43 am
with him. over and i didn't understand. many of the children like davy are still traumatized that over there was the head. hurt. the button button guy given this video shows the die that davy and the other children were rescued from the illegal orphanage that had been held on the outskirts of katmandu for more than 6 months at the thought of for better life here they were lured the families were tricked but actually the life which they were living in this place. was held. the orphanage owners had filed to secure sponsors meanwhile the children went hungry. boys me you

5:45 am
a day there are few of whom are aware of what unlovable one day may mean is who they know here couple are says she tried to help the children. w. for a bone and they will but it may so give us here a way if that is the most part is i guess my the cause of his holiness i think a boy lagaan but once i get into it it's a catholic that has had this little sub but to that i am not a photograph of him in a place that's a company is out on file but will be gyal if she's found guilty. of a moby that are not bad no they are for you by and they smother. bizarrely is a point in over north of what the big government say boy about middest of any. good law amend it is connected to the ducats. the court proceedings could take years to resolve.
