Noki's family were seasonal harvesters, and they traveled to Southern Asia helping farmers harvest crops of rice, tamarind, sugarcane, and cotton. During a drought when farmers produced no crops, Noki's migrant family entered a rock quarry to survive. They sold themselves into slavery in exchange for food to survive. Surviving the quarry became just as difficult as surviving outside the quarry. The food they received in the quarry was almost less than before.
Eventually, Noki was forcibly separated from her parents. She began working with other children her own age breaking stones and loading trucks for 12 to 14 hours a day. Two years of this backbreaking work continued until Noki and the other children were rescued in the Spring of 2020. Our team searched has searched high and low for his parents, but they have not yet been located.
Today, Noki lives and studies at The CFC Children's Home. She is 10 years old. She attends classes in the 4th grade. She loves to read and study Hindi. Someday, she hopes to become a teacher.
