draws humanitarian workers from around the world. But some foreigners
exploit the trust of young children, sexually abusing those they claim
to protect.

"I do think that Nepal, like any country where there are a lot of very
poor children, is a target because paedophiles look for disposable
children", says Llori Handrahan, who tracks abuse by aid workers.
Wealthy foreigners like the Canadian Peter Daglish win the trust of
entire families. After police surveillance, Daglish was charged with
paedophilia, although he denies the allegations. "Since April this year,
Nepalese police have charged four other foreigners with similar
offences", says filmmaker Steve Chao. Dutch psychologist Piet Hein Van
Terwisga is one such man and has been jailed for his crimes. "There's no
screening going on whatsoever", Handrahan explains.
