"For the next three years, I was enslaved to this family. The Chinese couple married me to their son. But I wasn't treated as a wife and this was not a marriage," says Hnin.
What started as a normal day for Khatema, 9, joyfully playing in the village with her friends quickly turned into one of the worst days of her life. Her world and her dream of becoming a teacher came crashing down when her brother interrupted their game with a message: Their father had decided to marry her off.
As we celebrate our phase out in Uvurkhangai and hear powerful stories of transformation that has happened in the community, we asked sponsors to share their own personal sponsorship journies on social media. To make it even sweeter, we are giving sponsors who share their stories a chance to travel to Selenge, Mongolia with World Vision in 2020.
We are happy to see even more inspiring stories surfacing from this contest!
The contest closes on 30 June 2019. See how you can still participate with the details here.
