Abraham's parents worked hard but struggled to provide for their children. It's customary to send children to work in Southern Asia, but when Abraham's parents agreed to send him to a rock quarry, they were misled. Abraham was promised good food and a monthly wage, but all of it was a lie. Abraham was a slave.
In the quarry, he worked seemingly endless days on a single meal. His supervisors abused all the children but were merciless to those who they thought didn't work hard enough. More than once, Abraham was beaten with a cane.
Our field team discovered that quarry Abraham was working in along with 23 other children. They were all rescued, and many were reunited with their families. Those with no place to go came to live at The CFC Children's Home. At 10 years old, Abraham has started school for the first time, but he doesn't see himself pursuing higher education. He loves to fix toys and has asked his house father about working with cars and engines as a career.
