  1. Great Job Its sad to hear that Suma was forced into bonded labor at the age of six;(. Also it is great that Suma was rescued by Sita Tharu and that she helped provide Suma with variety of services to help her build a new life.

  2. Andrea, this is a great start on your post on Suma.

    I have lots of feedback for you but I will limit this comment to one piece of feedback:

    Some of your post is copied and pasted from other websites. I would like you to paraphrase this copied/pasted text into your own words. Sometimes the best way to paraphrase is to read the copied text until you understand it, hide it, and write down what you understand in your own words.

    This isn't easy, but it is a critical change you need to make so that you learn how to write.
