Ardin Earrings - Silver

Shan’s Story of Hope When Shan came into the office, our Outreach Director almost melted into tears. She remembered Shan. Shan was in a dark brothel in a village on the verge of being torn down when they met. Shan lit up on that first visit as our Outreach Team Director, with her new baby greeted her. Shan, a mom too, doted on the baby's chubby little legs. After a few months of visits, Shan was simply gone. The Outreach Team thought they'd never see her again. Yet three and a half years later, she came! We received a call from Shan who said she knew someone in our office. She shared that her contact was an American with dark hair who had a small baby boy. It could only have been our Outreach Director, although her son was already 4 years old by then. She shared that she had recently returned to our city and was hoping that the offer of a safe job at Starfish Project was still available. Shan shared her story - from compounded childhood trauma, being sold into a marriage as a teenager to being sent to work in brothels. She left our city years ago to escape an abusive relationship yet on that day, she was back and ready to begin again. The seeds of hope have taken root and she is flourishing.
