One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was seventeen, I went to Kenya to make a performance about HIV/Aids, together with a group of Dutch and Kenyan youngsters. We performed in the slums, in theaters, in schools and festivals.
The year after I went to India to investigate Child prostitution. We interviewed a lot of girls in projects where young girls were saved from prostitution. We also talked to traffickers, pimps, dancing girls, and woman infected with HIV. Two projects that made a big impact on my life.
