In 1853, the liberated African children were taken in by a refuge in Bombay (Clifford, 2006, p. 238). In 1848, the Reverend W. Price founded a village for Indian Christians near Nasik, about 187 kilometres north-east of Bombay (Pereira, 2006, p. 235). By 1853, liberated African children were housed at an asylum in Bombay (Pereira, 2006, p. 238); however, Nasik soon became the primary asylum for liberated African children and young adults. Funding for the project came from fines imposed on convicted slave traders in British India (Harris, 1977, p. 19). The arrival of the 200 Africans liberated by HMS Thetis in 1860 boosted the asylum and led to the creation of a community of African people of diverse ethnic origins. Between 1860 and 1874, a further 200 young Africans were received at Nasik (Colomb, 1968, pp. 101-102). These people were all thought to read and write in English, and trained in various skills including carpentry, blacksmithing and embalming. Many also learned Hindi and all were instructed in the catechism and in basic Christian teaching. Upon their baptism, some took on new names; for example Chingwembe became Mathew Wellington (1847-1935) (Pereira, 2006, p.233). Among these children was a Yao boy who was baptized as Jacob Wainright (Simpson, 1975, p. 198). Among the liberated Africans in Bombay were two boys, James Chuma (c. 1850-1882) and Wekotani (born circa 1852) (Harris, 1977, p. 17) and seven adult Africans who had been part of the Zambezi expedition of David Livingstone (Livingstone and Livingstone, 2001, p. 458). In 1863, the two boys were placed in education with the Free Church of Scotland's Mission in Bombay (Jeal, 1974, p. 296). Other refuges for liberated Africans in India included the Roman Catholic orphanage of Bandra and the American mission in Siroor (Poona) (Harris, 1977, p. 18). There was concern among the British in India that the liberated African children placed in the care of Indian families would be influenced by Hinduism and Islam (Sullivan, 1967
