Si-un's Story:
Not Enough Girls

From Forgotten Girls: Stories of Hope and Courage

For hours she waited, struggling to calm her pounding heart. When the night was deep, she rallied her courage and crept out of her childhood home, out beyond her fears, all the way to the river.

Si-un's departure point was well behind the trees at the river's edge. She backed up further still, then she made a running start. Diving on her stomach, she skittered like a spider until she made it to the other side.

Forgotten Girls
Stories of Hope and Courage
Kay Marshall-Strom and Michele Rickett
To be released in bookstores October, 2009

All over the world, the girl child faces starvation, displacement, illiteracy, sexual exploitation and abuse. Statistics show that the world's most oppressed are overwhelmingly female.

Moved by the plight of girls, Kay Marshall Strom and Michele Rickett travelled the globe to interview girls in some of the most difficult places in the world.

This book tells stories of deep pain, inspiring courage and hard-won hope. They are stories of God working through compassionate people to rescue and restore lives, creating new paths.

Addressing physical suffering, education, sexual abuse, prison, war and spiritual need, the authors provide practical action steps and prayer points that open avenues for you to get involved as God leads. Read, speak and pray that forgotten girls might be free and strong.

Sisters In Service creates opportunities for you to speak up and strengthen the least fed, least educated and least valued against poverty, disease, exploitation and spiritual darkness.
