The Lure of Makeup

Many people ask how we make friends with women in the brothels and other "shops". We are not ashamed to say we lure them with makeup from America and makeovers. We had a full day doing art therapy while waiting for makeover appointments and these beautiful women became even more precious once they saw themselves in our eyes. Once we build relationships and they start seeing themselves differently they are more ready to dream of a future outside of that lifestyle. It is a process, but we were so encouraged by the strong and courageous women we met.
