A note from the founder
Can you imagine? Disoriented all of the time because someone else
controls your life, uses you as property, and lets you have only a few
minor possessions, life is beyond harsh.
One moment these trafficked and enslaved children were hopeless,
lifeless, and in many cases, disassociated with reality. Then a strange
group of men and women came in and whisked them away. Within moments,
these children are told they are free.
Sometimes the children have no reaction, sometimes tears flow freely.
Sometimes fear may set in, as they have only ever known bondage and
abuse, and this new unknown is frightening.
But within hours, as the children hear in their own language that a new life awaits, glimmers of hope appear.
Several days after being rescued, a light starts to shine in their
eyes. Several weeks afterwards, smiles are now more common, the light is
brighter and the children are realizing their captors cannot find them.
These children will not be tormented anymore.
As the months go by, their dreams come to life. Children now talk of
wanting to be teachers, perhaps a pilot or a dancer. Maybe the dream is
to help others by being a doctor, nurse, or even a rescuer.
The children, dressed in school uniforms, their formerly gaunt faces
now filled out with proper nutrition, skip down the street as they head
to school. Children who may have been lost to the eventual death of
slavery now have a chance at life. They have a chance to be forces of
change in the world.
