About the future

Once upon a time a boy, who had a difficult infancy. He overcame the
slavery and helped the people.
The slavery already been abolished, but in same countries this was still
happening.

In a factory with a lot of children working chained there was a special boy
that was there because his dad had to do a surgery and the factory offered the
money of the surgery if they gave their son. He was only four years.
When he could not take it anymore, he escaped from the factory. When
the police found him instead of giving him the freedom, they gave him back to
the factory.

After a while he escaped again and then, he finally got freedom, but he
does not forgot the situation of the other childs. He come back and dedicated
his life to fight again the children slavery.

This history looks like a script of a superhero story, but it really
happened. The name of the “superhero” was Iqbal Masih, he was born at
Pakistan, in 1983. Unfortunately, he was murdered for revenge when he was
only 12 years old. Despite his short life he saved more than 3.000 childs from
the slavery.

This inspiring story shows us that it is possible to overcome difficulties
and make a difference in the world.
When I grow up, I also want to make a difference in the world in my own
way.
