2:34 am
on my way to make a special group of children. this place is quite important in the whole crisis of how things are kids 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 a going to try saying that me because they were trafficked from their villages deep in the mountains. next bit 10 year old davy is finding her voice again what about that one. lou lou that's right. she's mischievous sometimes she cracks jokes she is very very friendly with all the
2:35 am
children and she just loves that carefree type of child she is so she's a bit of a character yes she is she is there and there was. it's a lot to do that they're ok on this is going to be difficult that being a. bit lonely 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 i'm strong. 3rd. one they're going 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 oh yes good that's in a few days the children will start the long trip back to their families that's.
2:36 am
the poles mountain regions are as beautiful as they are poor opportunities here off here. many parents in remote villages want to bet a lot for their children. often age recruiters pride on that desperation. families hand over these sightings on the promise of an education for their kids in katmandu. 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 you know. it's an industry
2:37 am
exploited by nepalis but 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 are there are enough often ends to volunteer with or fund this whole industry so the orphans of being invented often there are often made by their fortunate documentation i mean like. a struggling lawyer kate bedore speaks from 1st hand experience in 2006 she and some friends
2:38 am
write used funds to open an orphanage in kathmandu with an initial intake 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 fair but i also wondered where are her parents and why is she off and we're just a shame to parents but dead she was too small to tell us otherwise for more than a decade cases mine time to contact with alicia and the other girls. to die there reuniting for the 1st time in 5 years.
2:39 am
but it's you. so don't. take it in the. one. family's earth there. is a. case now is now that all the girls have living family. and others make a g.s.t. . in 2012 in order to reveal that being trafficked as paypal before entering hurricane yeah we found forge one death certificates and birth certificates. found that the children's names had been changed to prevent
2:40 am
a surprise family finding them. and i thought if they've got family. there's no way that they should be here without us. if they've got family land we need to find a way to get them on. 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 70 is and he kept her chin and he turned to head and she has
2:41 am
a scar just here and he touched a skier and then he lifted her forehead and she has a scar just heah 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 last known as a 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 got to.
2:42 am
see 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 institutionalize 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 think 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 members. under one is helping to put the pieces back together 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 mikey. was
2:43 am
a lad with him by liam over. and. many of the children like davey are still traumatized that are with them as the head. hurt. the button button go like this video shows the dye 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 main while the children went hungry. boys me you know
2:44 am
and i think that anger is good for me because that will help me to talk in front of the government authorities and the people who are supporting orphanages that you are harming children. davey's own arms cowburn our border has been charged with trafficking the children it's common in the orphanage tried for relatives to be used as go betweens calvin are has agreed to speak publicly for the 1st time she climbs she was assured the children would receive quality schooling and accommodation but she filed to rise the alarm when she saw the terrible conditions. over some i didn't get one with a roommate by way of biden as a cat and they have not had that nobody buy it there but sadly. my lawyer did
2:45 am
nothing about that is of a day there are 4 of whom are aware of what another one day may mean is who they know here couple are says she tried to help the children. w. for a loan 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 this whole mess i think oh boy lagaan but it once again made its way to catalans and has had this little subway to 30 ever to photograph him in a place that's a company is out on file but he'll be gyal if she's found guilty. of a moby that are not bad for the athlete who buy 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 take years to resolve.
