When our aftercare partners in Central America received the call that there were two rescued boys who needed a place to go, they were ready to help. These boys had been through some of the most horrific trafficking that you could ever imagine: they were trafficked inside of a prison. They were both sold to corrupt prison workers by family members. From a very young age, these boys were raped and exploited by convicted criminals. Upon receiving the news of this crime, the police and prison were completely distraught to find out what was happening and responded immediately to stop the corruption. The boys were both around thirteen years old when they were rescued and are now on the path to healing. The O.U.R. Aftercare Team believes in the importance of providing opportunities for positive, safe outings in the community. One day, they had the opportunity to take these boys on a walk so they could rollerblade and skateboard. One of the boys was so excited to try to teach O.U.R. Aftercare Director Jessica Mass how to skateboard. This is not one of her talents, but it was important to him, so she got on the skateboard in her wedge heels as he showed her where to put her feet. They laughed together as he tried to convince her that she wouldn’t break her leg. If you met these two thirteen-year-olds, you would never know the type of abuse they have been through. They have every reason to be angry and bitter, but they are still full of JOY. No matter what, we always believe that there is hope for every child. See link in profile for full story.
