See this film

Sokha was a Cambodian child of the dump:
orphaned and forced to pick through garbage to survive.
But, through a series of miracles, Sokha finds her way to school –
and, like a phoenix, she has risen to become a star student on the brink of
a brilliant and once unimaginable future.

Hello friends, 

If you're like me, you feel a mixture of horror and hope about the emerging story of the rescued women and the little girl in Cleveland. If so, may I encourage you to see this film, "Girl Rising." 

Bring the kids, bring your partner, bring a friend, bring your parents, or just go. Check out when it's showing in your community and go. (With thanks to Megan Clausen who introduced it to me. And with thanks to a group of lovely women who I was able to join for the showing.)

I hope to go again, this time with Bob and the kids, if it returns to Des Moines. The website including a movie trailer is here. 

With love from yours truly,

Natural Born Bleeding Heart
