Radio Europe Interview

Jul 7

Posted by

On Tuesday, July 1, I was a guest on the Boland show on Radio Europe Mediterraneo, the largest English language radio station in Spain. The producer of the show contacted me after researching child labor in India and coming across my website and book. The twenty-minute interview was a discussion about the various sides of child labor in India and the conflicting issues surrounding how to get children out of the workforce.

    Once again, Shelley, I cannot tell you how proud I am of you as a mother and also as a human being aching for the children you love and support so whole-heartedly. I have just finished listening to your radio interview and was extremely impressed with the way you conducted yourself and the vast knowledge you shared. I’ve always known you possessed these qualities, but to see and hear it in action overwhelms me. It makes me feel that my life has had meaning as well if I could have, in even a small way, contributed to the compassionate, intelligent person you have become. Not only seeing the problems of the world; but, unlike most of us, actually going into that world and actively trying to make changes. It makes my heart full to know you are my daughter.
