I didn't want to stop talking...

For the first time I have come out of Bangalore and I am coming to a meeting as big as this and I like it. I like the 4 recommendations we are asking for - in particular I think that children should go to school not to work. I think that children should not keep silent, they should talk about their life as domestic workers. I have come to know that there are so many other children from other countries also working as domestic workers and suffering from various issues. I got a chance to speak yesterday at a side meeting at the UN, it was good that this event was organised and I didn't want to stop talking. I have not had the chance to study like the children that I work with in Gowpyatha Makkla Kendra (a rehabilitation centre in Bangalore that works children rescued from child labour) so I have not had this kind of opportunity before.

I thought I would be lonely here but there is always someone with me to speak Kannada and to explain. I am happy to help the children back home by speaking here.
