IS THIS STILL THE CHINA ARTICLE? I'M NOT SURE!!! BE SPECIFIC. Child Slavery is a major issue that continues thourhgout this world. kids from 8 to sixteen work as slaves across the country. They are told to work from 6:30 am to 6:30 at night. When it is time for pay day they recieve as little as nothing. All toys and mardi gras beads are made by these kids. They work very hard and recieve sometimes NOTHING! i think that it is really bad that kids are treated this way. they should all be treated the same way/.


 * ds throughout Pakistan ages 4-14 (and sometimes people who are up to 20-years-old) are forced to make soccer balls and they have to work in horrible working conditions. Such as that if you accidently made your soccer ball wrong or complain about your job, you will be severly totured. Even though many kids work in making soccer balls for hours, they only recieve as much as $.25 a day! Even though this is a big problem, most sport companies won't stop it because of the profit they can get from child labor and that they won't have to pay much to keep the children working. Even so, most sports companies have agreed to help stop child labor in Pkaistan by opening new soccer making practices, and hiring adults to replace children. Also if children are still being used as laborers, the sports cmpanies will help improve working conditions for the child laborers to make their work easier and safer**.

I'm the chocolate article and here are my facts. I learned that over 13 billion dollars is spent on chocolate a year by americans only. So that leaves th rest of the world to buy chocolate. So it's pretty popular. I'll write more tommorwow, umsmel. OK, BUT WHAT DOES THE CHOCOLATE HAVE TO DO WITH CHILD WORKERS? PLEASE CUT AND PASTE YOUR INFORMATION AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE TO THIS SO IT'S ALL IN ONE PLACE. THANKS.

I am the diamond group i have learned that child labor is a terrible thing that still happeds around the world products such as mardi gras beads, cheap toys, clothes, and jewelry are all manufactured from chlid slaves. Stores like Wal-Mart, and the Nike Shoe Company, all sell products from child slaves also. Child slaves also work very hard in mining pits to find diamonds. poeple are saying "is it worth buying a small gem that slaves worked arduously for?" mining pits are dirty and VERY dangorous. all they are is pits of dirt, minerals, and other things that fall into it. type more tomorrow! ~umsmeris~

Hey the chocolate article is back and I'm here to tell you some more information about chocolate. In 1998 an estimated 15,000 childern were being inslaved to work on cocoa farms to produce more chocolate. Thats crazy. All that for chocolate. They even stuck a deal with a poor family from Mali. The deal was if the family worked on their cocoa farm they would pay the family $150 when they were doe working. Unforunitly the family never got paid and they were inslaved without pay. Well they got there chocolate are they happy yet. NO way. Thats why brand names made new chocolate to take down there cocoa farms so we would have no more slaves on them. The name that helped the most was Hershey. Talk more tommorow from umsmel. GOOD START. WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL US?
