Elaan


Have been meaning to introduce "Elaan" to this space for quite some time- but have been kinda busy. Elaan is this NGO that I have been interacting with for the past few months. They deal with Child Sexual Abuse (CSA). It's rare that you get to see such a motivated group of youngsters working for a cause they all strongly believe in. The owner is all of 21 yrs of age and Elaan is a full-time commitment for her...!

There is just so much filth in the world, you won't believe. How can you explain perfectly normal, married men, "touching" their nieces? Or some old grandfather spending some quality time with his grandchild (feeling him/her up!) What is sad is that once these kids grow up (it could be a male or female child) only then do they realise the extent of what has happened to them. Targeting a child has to be the most heinous of all crimes!!

Please do visit Elaan's website here and their blog. In case someone wants to help out in any way, you are most welcome.
