Recently drenched Norwegian in White

Ellin (?) works for Save the Children, Norway on a programme trying to reintegrate children conscripted by the Maoists. A difficult role for many reasons. Girls are anyhow often disowned by their families but the children come from very poor backgrounds and have little to go back to. As Maoist cadres they had dubious excitement, some status and purpose, food and shelter.

She was the only person I saw wearing all white this Saturday.
