The Badi people have been considered the lowest class individuals in Nepal. Others have avoided them at all costs – believing that if they came into contact with a Badi person, their life would be doomed and bad luck would follow them. The Badi people were born into a world of degradation, prostitution and have been exploited in every way possible. This week I speak with Devisara Hannah Badi, an activist born into the Badi community, as well as Sarah Davison-Tracy, human rights advocate, author and speaker. I met both of these lovely ladies during my recent travels to Nepal, where I witnessed firsthand the neglect and discrimination Badi people face. In this episode, we talk about the harsh reality of being a Badi person, the prostitution, rape and sex trafficking most girls experience, and how Hannah wants to be a light in her community and save as many girls as she can from trafficking.   Discussion points 03:50 Introduction to Sarah 04:45 How Hannah & Sarah met 07:14 How Sarah learnt about the Badi community 10:03 The Badi people 13:40 The Badi village 15:44 How Hannah found the courage to say no 24:08 What makes Hannah different 26:01 Where Hannah took the Badi girls she saved 31:36 Laws protecting the Badi community 34:35 What Hannah would change as Prime Minister 37:30 Sarah's thoughts on writing another book 39:12 What needs to be done to get the government's attention   Show Sponsors: Smartkas: Providing food security as a service [https://www.instagram.com/smartkastech/?hl=en] Najahi Events: The UAE's leading event promotor [https://www.instagram.com/najahievents/?hl=en]   Socials: Spencer Lodge https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/ https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV   Hannah Badi https://www.instagram.com/hannah_badi_/?hl=en https://twitter.com/badihannah   Sarah Davison-Tracy https://www.instagram.com/seedsofexchange/ https://seedsofexchange.org/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFFE7JC-oRVduOIZSWCcKWQ?view_as=subscriber

If I’m a cosmic cheerleader, then Sarah Davison-Tracy is the captain of the cheerleading team. She walked through my front door last week to join me on the big blue couch and I couldn’t make it through the introduction before feeling teary-eyed and undone. This woman’s magic is fierce. It sort of washes over you unexpectedly until you pay attention, still yourself, and surrender to it. In this interview, she shares intimate details about her journey as a human rights advocate, mother, wife, and visionary behind Seeds of Exchange, a “collective of everyday people who are committed to light up the world so that a mighty difference can be made together.” Her book, Live Ablaze and Light Up the World launches on Amazon on June 20.

2017 has been a tough year -- from hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and fires, to political news. If you've been watching and wanting to make a difference, but you live a busy life or you're just not sure how to get involved, this episode is for you. Sarah Davison-Tracy runs Seeds of Exchange, an organization that uses storytelling to make tangible change. Sarah gives advice for getting involved in service -- with small, doable steps. In this episode, she talks about helping the Lighthouse Foundation, which rescues Nepalese girls from a life of sex slavery. Bonus at the end: Hannah Badi, one of the first girls to be rescued from this life, tells her story.  Highlights:  - To live a life of meaning and purpose requires three components: destiny/superpower, tribe, and offering. Sarah defines each one.  - Without a tribe, service is unsustainable. We burn out. Grow a tribe or turn to your existing one to continue offering service (and to continue creating something new, which is hard).  - Raju Sundas began the Lighthouse Foundation because he watched a TV documentary about the Badi people, who live in a village 20 hours from his city of Kathmandu. At the time, nine years ago, he had no money himself, but he was moved by the plight of the villagers and felt he had to do something about it. The Lighthouse Foundation now houses, clothes, and educated more than 700 children.  Resources mentioned in the episode:  Seeds of Exchange Lighthouse Foundation Nepal Video of Hannah's story Read about Hannah in an excerpt from Sarah Davison-Tracy's forthcoming book: Live Ablaze | And Light Up the World. (Click on the bonus content button for the .pdf) Transcript of Hannah Badi's speech about being rescued and her ambition to become prime minister of Nepal:  Hannah Badi Tells Her Story The following is a transcript of a short speech Hannah Badi gave at a Seeds of Exchange storytelling event in Denver in September, 2017. Raju Sundas, the founder of Lighthouse Foundation Nepal, translated for Hannah – until the very end of her talk, when she switched to English. To listen to her talk, go to the end of this One More Shot episode, following the credits. Hannah: [00:39:00] Speaks in Nepalese.  Raju: [00:39:04] When I was nine years old I met Uncle Raju at my village.  Hannah: [00:39:24] Speaks. Raju: [00:39:33] Being part of the Badi community. I have seen what is happening in Hannah’s village. And I myself went through that experience.  Hannah: [00:39:44] Speaks.  Raju: [00:39:52] If nine years ago if I was not rescued from that village I wouldn't be able to speak today. Hannah: [00:40:00] Speaks.  Raju: [00:40:45 All my friends, those who used to play with me, were being sold in brothels. I have seen everything with my own eyes. Hannah: [00:40:57] Speaks.  Raju: [00:41:12] [In Badi villages], they celebrate the girls. Because they don't celebrate girls as girls but they celebrate as income source, of money.  Hannah: [00:41:20] Speaks. Raju: [00:41:37] Mothers teach their daughters how to entertain or how to attract a man.  Hannah: [00:41:42] Speaks. Raju: [00:41:55] Badi people, you know, is one of the people groups that are being treated as a lowest of the society. [In Nepal’s caste system, Badi people are the lowest caste – the “untouchables.”]  Hannah: [00:42:06] Speaks.  Raju: [00:42:14] In our society the dog has value. Dogs can go from one house to another house. But Badi people cannot go from one house to another house. They are “untouchable.”  Hannah: [00:42:28] Speaks.  Raju: [00:42:32] So since our lifestyle was like that, education was just a dream. No one can study.  Hannah: [00:42:41] Speaks.  Raju: [00:42:46] When they were nine to 10 years old, that is the time they had to start the business [of enforced prostitution].  Hannah: [00:42:54] Speaks.  Raju: [00:43:24] They are treated this way in public places like police stations, bus stations, hospitals, anywhere. They are being ostracized by people. The moment the people know that they are Badi people, they are open to being abused. Hannah: [00:43:46] Speaks.  Raju: [00:43:48] No matter what type of caste, the moment people know they are Badi people, they are seen as sexual toys. Anyone can do anything to them, all kinds of things.  Hannah: [00:43:57] Speaks. Raju: [00:44:01] I thought that I would end up in a brothel. Or I would have to sell my body. I was thinking like that.  Hannah: [00:44:08] Speaks. Raju: [00:44:10] My sister was sold in front of my own eyes. My friends were sold in front of my own eyes.  Hannah: [00:44:17] Speaks.  Raju: [00:44:22] Nobody heard our voices. We were the voiceless people.  Hannah: [00:44:26] Speaks. Raju: [00:44:33] When I [Raju] went and spoke and told them that I was there to help them, it was difficult for them to believe a man. They didn’t trust me. Hannah: [00:44:42] Speaks. Raju: [00:44:45] When I went in her village for the first time, she performed a dance.  Hannah: [00:44:50] Speaks. Raju: [00:45:03] When I met Uncle Raju, I felt that the future of my life was in his hands. I can trust someone like that.  Hannah: [00:45:14] Speaks.  Raju: [00:45:17] I brought Hannah and 31 other girls to Kathmandu. Hannah: [00:45:19] Speaks.  Raju: [00:45:22] She started to go to school.  Hannah: [00:45:24] Speaks. Raju: [00:45:28] I had a great struggle in the school as well, being Badi.  Hannah: [00:45:32] Speaks.  Raju: [00:45:39] Ever time they encounter problems in school, we always encouraged them, that their time will come. You will rise.  Hannah: [00:45:47] Speaks.  Raju: [00:46:00] When I came to Lighthouse, I found the authentic love. There is no fake, no selfishness. And people from other parts of the country also shared love, you know.  Hannah: [00:46:16] Speaks.  Raju: [00:46:23] I came to know my value. Hannah: [00:46:27] Speaks.  Raju: [00:46:32] I have completed my college degree [note: college is high school in Nepal].  Hannah: [00:46:35] Speaks.  Raju: [00:46:38] So soon I'm going to study political science in university.  Hannah: [00:46:43] Because I want to be a prime minister of Nepal.  Raju: [00:46:46] That's amazing (cheers from audience).  Hannah: [00:46:52] I want to change my nation and I want to change the caste system, and I want to support Badi people.  I want to be a strong woman of Jesus Christ. And I am so happy I'm here. And thank you for everyone here. So thank you for your love. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your prayer. And thank you for you make me strong. And thank you for helping us, Uncle [Raju]. He's my great father and great mother.. And thank you so much for everything and please help us. Raju: [00:47:37] Thank you. No need to translate now! (Cheers from audience.)
