I worked for four or five years, but things became worse and worse. The house owner hit us and was never satisfied with what we did. They tried to find different ways to hurt me. They threw the hot water on me and many other things. They hurt me a lot and made me feel like I was living in the hell. I lived under oppression.
If not for Hagar, I would not be who I am now. When Hagar heard about me, they came and helped me. At Hagar, I received skills training that helped me to find a job that I have now.
These days I have two jobs. I work as a cook at a restaurant from 5am to 2pm. Then I am free for one or two hours, then at 4pm I sell bread rolls. I sell with my friend who I share costs and profit with. It helps me a lot and it is the skill that Hagar provided me like cooking, theory and many other things.
