The Sheer Weight of Humanity

By Hannah, our NightCare Manager Before going to Bangladesh for the first time, I naively picked up a travel book, Bangladesh produced by Lonely Planet, thinking I would only get positive thoughts about the country I was about to visit. While this was partly the case, what stood out to me the most was the […]

Blinded Eyes

ABy Eric Drury    The sun was getting ever higher overhead and didn’t mix well with the layers of soiled garbage underfoot, the smell of fresh waste of all types and the heavy exhaust from the frequently used, yet hardly maintained, trains.             There are a couple of travel bonuses experienced during the rainy season in […]

Who takes care of the babies in NightCare?

Written by the Saving Moses NightCare Manager. Have you ever spent time with someone who is an incredibly hard worker? A person who makes you tired just to watch because of their dedication to what they’re doing? I lived with nearly 30 of them for a couple of weeks. Let me back up a little […]

Let’s Talk About “Least Available”

If you are familiar with Saving Moses, you’ve probably heard the phrase “most urgent, least available.” This single phrase is at the heart of our mission and often determines when or where we expand programs.

Guest Post: Saving Moses Leads by Example

At Saving Moses, we love involving people in our mission. Each year, we take a team of about 10-15 people to Cambodia to volunteer in our NightCare centers. While there, they clean or repair centers as needed, visit neighborhoods to invite new attendees, and participate in play time, showing genuine love to the babies and […]

Stars

A glimpse of innocence in an otherwise harsh world. Nights used to be long. When the stars awoke, my mother would usher me to the dark corner of our small recycled home. Unknown faces made their way into our sleeping space and then shuffled out just as quickly as they came. I would spend the […]

On location: filming in a brothel in Bangladesh

On location: filming in a brothel in Bangladesh It was a long drive from the capital city of Dhaka, but then again every drive in and around Dhaka is long no matter if its two or twenty miles. Once out of the city, lush green jungle reflected off the rice paddies. The speed of our […]

Who are the Rohingya?

I just got back from Bangladesh. This time, I went to meet Rohingya refugees. It’s a really horrific situation to comprehend—particularly after sitting in the tents with these families and listening to their stories. The Rohingya are a people group from Myanmar and are currently experiencing a genocide.  The stories of terror, mass killings, torture, […]

Teddy Bears on Brothel Beds

There’s nothing more innocent than a teddy bear. A stuffed animal to calm fears, to play with, and to hold close when a child’s world feels uncertain. Three year-old Nazir excitedly showed us his house—a room no bigger than a double-size bed that hosts his mom’s clients throughout the night. Sitting on top of the […]
