There, Ms. Murray, an adventurous, 59-year-old lawyer, encountered stunning landscapes and friendly people. But it was the children she met during her trek along rugged mountain trails (đi bộ dọc theo đường núi mòn gồ ghề) from Pokhara to Siklis that enchanted her and went on to transform her life.
Ms. Murray, who was recognized by the Dalai Lama in 2001 as an “unsung hero of compassion,” died on Feb. 20 at her home in Sausalito, Calif. She was 98 and had lived half the year in Nepal; her final visit there ended in May. The foundation announced the death (tổ chức công bố cái chết).
Freeing girls as young as 5 who were sold for less than $100 a year — a practice called kamlari that was in place for generations among the Tharu ethnic minority in southwestern Nepal — has been one of the foundation’s most significant achievements (thành tựu đáng kể).
The foundation then sued in Nepal’s Supreme Court to outlaw indentured servitude as a violation of the country’s labor laws; it was declared illegal (tuyên bố bất hợp pháp) in 2006, but there was little enforcement until 2013.
Over the years, the foundation built 17 nutritional rehabilitation clinics; the Olgapuri Children’s Village, which has room for 80 children whose parents cannot support them; a counseling center for children affected by trauma and loss; and a vocational school.
Freeing the enslaved girls resonated deeply with Ms. Murray. On Jan. 15, 2014, which the Nepali government declared Kamlari Freedom Day, she attended a parade (tham dự cuộc diễu hành) in the district of Dang.
