IJM South Asia partnered with the local government to conduct an operation on a brick kiln today, July 1, 2009.  The operation was very complicated: Not only was the facility quite large, but the operation was IJM’s first-ever brick kiln operation in this particular area.

47 adults and children were granted official release certificates by the government, entitling them to financial rehabilitation and providing crucial documentation of their freedom.  IJM aftercare staff will provide long-term support to the former slaves – helping them begin stable new lives in freedom.

Praise God! Feel free to leave a note of encouragement in the comments - we’ll be sure our team in this city knows you are rejoicing with them and praising God for His hand in their tireless, faithful work!
