Thank you for sharing this moving story. I understand the feeling of being tired of having to be strong. It seems an unfair burden, and yet everyone is having to bear it, without much support. I'm glad to see that more resources are being made available, and made culturally appropriate. I wonder what we outside the community can do. Can scholarships be set up so that counsellors from the village can be trained, the return home to help? What future do they want for themselves, and how can we support that happening?
