Mr Gastler, 30, is from a middle-class family in Edina, Minnesota, but for the moment,

he has swapped his comforts for the dust and grime of Indian slums...

and sleeps on a hard floor  Wink

"Of the first 15 girls who came on the football field, many of their older sisters were married off

at ages 13 to 15," says Mr Gastler.

"But only one girl out of the whole football group has now been married off at 15."  Wink
