Children

1... 2... 3... ONE CHILD DIED SOMEWHERE IN AFRICA

You might think that you hear this "counting" every day, that every 3 seconds a child dies somewhere in Africa because of the hunger and poverty. Well, some of us might think, "who cares?" or some others will keep that in mind and next day they will buy shoes from a famous company that uses children workers.

It's tragic that 250 millions of boys and girls in the world, between 5-14 years old, work 14-16 hours a day producing carpets, cutting diamonds, carry bricks.... There are now 100,000 to 250,00 children that work in the gold mines in Africa and there are 12 million child workers in India!...

And what about Trafficking? According to Unicef " Some estimates have as many as 1.2 million children being trafficked every year" and that "there is a demand for trafficked children as cheap labour or for sexual exploitation".

And these are not the only examples, if you google "Child Labour" you will find apprx. 2,960,000 results. Too much ha?.

Those children are screaming, because they are abused and exploited every day.

You can stop this by visit UNICEF and STOP CHILD LABOUR, two organisations that are doing their best to fight Child Labour.

By the Way,from the beginning of the article until now approx. 11 children died.
