April 11th, 2024
This story is based on the life of Iqbal Marsih and told through the voice of Fatima, a young Pakistani girl whose life is changed by Iqbal's courage.
The summary of the book: When young Iqbal is sold into slavery at a carpet factory, his arrival changes everything for the other overworked and abused children there. It is Iqbal who explains to them that despite their master's promises, he plans on keeping them as his slaves indefinitely. But it is also Iqbal who inspires the other children to look to a future free from toil.. and is brave enough to show them how to get there.
The story of Iqbal inspired the world recognize the miserable child labor and became a part of inspiring the starting of Me to We, a program aimed at getting students looking beyond themselves to the outside world and taking action towards a better world.
