FTBK Info Book 2011

When I became a father it changed me in a way I never could have imagined. I now had a little person who needed me. He needed me for the simple things like food and warmth but I soon learnt he needed me to have a belief in him; he needed me to tell him how amazing and great he was.

And when I do, there’s a look my little man gives me that shows me that my belief in him is feeding him in another way. Every time I tell him how much I care for him and how clever he is I see a euphoric smile light up his face. Every day when I drop him at the bus stop I speak life into him and with his little feet he steps off into the world brave and proud and confident.

I wonder what it must be like to be little again and have no one to speak life into you? What must it be like to have no one to protect you and shelter you from the world? As we rescue each different little person I imagine how would I personally feel to be that child living a life with no control over daily well being and happiness?

As an organisation our mandate is to rescue, stand up for, protect and instill a belief in exploited children that they are and can be little champions.

Our aim is to speak words of life into them, that might not be met straight away with a verbal response, but our hope is that just by a look on their face we can see hope once again.

I invite you to be a part of this mission, join us.
