"We are committed to supporting the education and empowerment of children of bonded laborers," said Mr. Hyacinth Peter. "We believe that education is the key to breaking the shackles of poverty and exploitation."

The organization provided school bags, books, notebooks, and stationery to the children, as well as a tool kit to students after completion of electrical engineering short course diploma. On this occasion, the brick kiln laborers expressed their gratitude for the support and also appealed Punjab Government to establish school for their children in the locality.
