Sofia

This is Sofia who stopped by today. She is Swedish (which confounds all the stereotypes about colouring!).

Sofia is part of a university group called Project Mongolia. In a few weeks' time, Sofia and her team of eight will be heading out to Ulan Bator to work for a month on drama and dance with the street kids aged 10 to 18.

Many of these children work, and therefore can't attend school. Many are homeless and without families. Some have been sexually abused.

The Project aims to give them confidence, and to persuade important leaders in the community to come along and hear the final production of their efforts - to show what the rejected children can achieve.

It's a dark enough world, but people like Sofia bring vital pinpoints of light.
