In order to get the feel of what it may be like to be a child who HAS to work in difficult conditions, for long hours and for very little pay, the kids in Year 3 and 4 carried out 5 different 'child labour' activities.
The students were asked to 'put themselves into the shoes' of less fortunate children who are forced into labour, while the teachers took the role of the bossy manager in charge of quality control.
Here's a quick clip of children sorting grains of rice.
Here's one children washing clothed by hand.
From our inquiries, we've found that children how have to work are not able to go to school to get an education and a brighter, more rewarding future.
These kids are carrying water for their families. They have no shoes and have to travel a long way so they can't go to school very often.
We're looking forward to helping some less fortunate children in Cambodia and the Green Gecko Project. Help us raise money to buy them what they need to get a good education and stay off the streets.
COME TO THE ART AUCTION - 6.30pm, Friday, 2nd December.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteIts Rochelle. I wonder what you have been learning at school, have you changed classes already? I still check this blog at least once a month. What class is Zoe in now?
Lots of love,
