The haruwa–charuwa system is a forced-labour system based on debt bondage, prevalent in the agricultural sector of the eastern Terai region in Nepal. Haruwa means "forced tiller" and are usually adult males, while charuwa means "forced cattle-herder" and are usually women and children.[1] The victims of this bonded labour system are usually dalit families, most commonly from the Musahar caste. Due to landlessness and poverty, they are forced into service of landowner families under slavery-like conditions.[2] The haruwa–charuwa system is similar to the Haliya and Kamaiya systems of western Nepal.[2][3]
Another term, kodarwa, is often used to refer to strong men who cultivate the lands of landlords for wages or payment of debt, similar to haruwas.[4] The written ......

Stent removed. Please continue to pray for his wife, who has hearing challenges and other ailments. Children are in High School. Especially for continuous flow of finances and a permanent place for them to stay and continue their ministry.
@Cherishingsparrows2020 We are looking for people who are willing to walk 1 or 2 days, carry some home made dry meat and dried mushrooms and stay with the family, pray, strengthen and encourage them.
Appreciate the spirit behind the question, however money cannot substitute physical presence. The Church in this Buddhist country survived and multiplying because of believers are willing to stand with each other during persecution and share what little they have.
#BTJ leadership is generous, they know what is best and the timing and methods to provide relief and tools through safe channels.
Pain is real, situation is tough, but we are more than conquerors ....
@Lanka4Jesus praise God!!! This was on my mind the other day, thanks for the update.
I continue to pray for the hatching of the next batch and for healthy growth on those that just arrived!
Calling all prayer warriors!
This is my granddaughter, most of you prayed for her and my daughter at the time of her birth, she is 14 months old. She has not grown in the last 3 months, the doctor said she won't be too concerned unless she doesn't grow in the next 3 months. Plz pray for normal growth. Thank you!!
A group of leaders with 'no names carried 200 copies of Sunday School curriculum to a town with 'no names' .
Will you please pray for them?
Children's ministry workers training to bring a great harvest of souls.

@faith20 We are 80 miles from there. Prayer is the biggest thing now. There has been so much help materially that no more is needed for the moment. Pray for the families. Pray that God can use this to draw some hearts to Christ.
UK politicians are set to regulate home educating famikies like they do with sex offendors
Never thought I'd see that see sort of a comparison being made by academics and experts on this latest proposal to criminalise parenting.
Prayers are needed for the UK. A proposed piece of legislation would send normal mums and dads to prison, with no upper limit, if they fail to comply in anyway - a forced home education register
The people set to manage this? They won't be trained or have any knowledge in home education, and there will be no appeal process or accountability for their actions.
I'm trusting in Jesus, but this proposal makes me feel quite sick
Oh, it's all to keep children safe. My MP was almost giddy when he replied to my letter, so excited was he about this proposal.
Meanwhile a 16 year old child was physically assaulted, by a group of class mates - in school - while teachers did nothing. Her crime for the vigilante retribution? Saying there are only two genders.
