54-year-old Ramona Braganza, an American, is a fitness trainer for Hollywood stars. Think Scarlette Johnson, Kate Bekinsale, Jessica Biel et al.
For the last six months she's been training a bunch of girls, sex-traffick survivors- in Mumbai to become certified fitness trainers and have a career in the fast-growing fitness industry.
She visits India every few months to train them personally. She also Skype- trains them. She's hired a personal trainer who works with the girls once a week to get them ready for the trainer certification tests.
Ramona plans to open a gym soon so the girls can begin their careers.
The benefits of exercise not only involves a bright future for these girls but also gaining confidence and physical strength. How cool is that! This is what we call a brilliant idea to integrate people on the fringes into mainstream society.
