Team ‘Guria Ektara Freedom Now’ is walking the Peak District 10 mile challenge to raise awareness, support and fundraise for our close to heart non-profitable organisation “GURIA” that works against human trafficking in India.

(Team members so far - Jasmine Almeida, Dominic Almeida, Raylan Almeida-9yrs, Balasubramanian)

This April, I finally embarked on a day trip to the Guria centre, in the heart of the red light area of Varanasi. I was overwhelmed with the number of children of varying age groups ( including teenagers) that spend their time here learning skills, interacting, making friends, meditating and spending their afternoon engaging in arts and crafts activities.

Some join following their school day session whereas others take time off their temporary jobs.

Guria is a grassroots charity based in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, led by Ajeet Singh and Santwana Manju.

Ajeet received the Mother Teresa’s Memorial award 2019 and also appeared in KBC with his wife Santwana Manju and the entire Guria crew

Visit the Guria website to learn about the remarkable and relentless rescue efforts being carried out by “Guria“ which means “Doll” in Hindi.
