Dhan Bahadur (DB) Lama
Nepal
The good shepherd
Trafficking is a serious violation of human rights and the depths of the problem cuts across rural and urban areas and between regional, national and international boundaries In November 2006, news broke about the trafficking of 500 children at the mid-Western region in Nepal which prompted an immediate response from a number of organizations.
Dhan Bahadur (or DB as he is called) is the Executive Director of the Himalayan Innovative Society(THIS). The organization was set up to protect and promote the human rights of the people of Nepal, especially children, orphans, the disadvantaged and others affected by conflict. Since 2006, THIS has been working for child rights and reintegration of trafficked children into appropriate care institutions such as orphanages and childrens homes. So far THIS has reintegrated over 500 children back to their families and 95 percent of whom have resettled in their families and villages.
DB came from a family of shepherds in the Tibetan border area of Humla district. He invests his time and energy supporting and aiding the people of Humla, who are isolated from the rest of Nepal. As a result of poverty, geographical difficulty and conflict, some people from the region choose to live nomadic lives. But DB, upon finishing a degree from the prestigious school of Budanilkantha in Kathmandu, choose to return to the marginalized region of Humla to action his dreams of providing his people with sustainable peace and development.
