Namaste to All
My name is Pramilla
I live at Rescue Junction where us girls have a whole floor mainly to ourselves. I came here 3 months ago because I told my favourite teacher at school that my maternal uncle had been doing bad things to me since I was ten years old.
At first, I felt so ashamed, I cried a lot. I blamed myself for getting my uncle in trouble. I am 14 years of age now. What I want to tell you is two things. First, I realised that I was not alone, and it is because although we talk about very serious and bad things and there are bad memories, we are all here together to support each other with people who really care about us. We enjoy the craft making training which you support because we can give lovely toys to our younger brothers and sisters. And the other thing is that here we learn to laugh again, we have music and dance and I had forgotten what it was like to feel joy. And then we come to realise we are not to blame we have survived the bad behaviour of others, we feel no shame ,we have the right to survive and rebuild our lives.
Thank you so much for helping us!
