Poem 1

Living in her small hut,
deep in the mountains lived a young girl named Lakshmi.

Her family was poor,
she enjoyed a life of simple pleasures.

Himalayan monsoons washed away the family crops.

Lakshmi was forced to leave home,
to become a maid.

Her world was turned upside down,
she was sold into prostitution.

When she arrives at the "Happiness House",
her life is changed forever.
