16 And 17, Not Much Of A Future Awaits

Spoke to two girls in English today both with limited futures in the dump. Both smart young ladies who could do so much more with the right opportunity. If they were born in the West they would be in grades 10, 11 with university and futures ahead of them.  Here in the dump they have not much of anything to look forward to.

- Honey age 17. Has a baby about 1 year old. Is done with school. Her father left, lives with her mother in a dump shack. A beautiful young woman, her baby is called HONEY BUN.

- Deezoo age 16. Has a boyfriend, and  is done with school, no money to return. Never new here dad, he dies when she was 8 months old. Spoke to me of how beautiful Myanmar (Burma) is, hopes to return some day.

Both girls came separately and spoke to me for quite a long time tonight. What futures will they have? No opportunities, not much of a chance to chase any kind of dream,. They will only struggle to survive from day to day. Nothing much else awaits them
