Craig Kielburger is a Canadian activist who created the charity called Free the Children. This charity is an international organization designed to help the world by empowering children. It offers leadership camps and youth missions to places such as Kenya.
"I play Video Games and watch TV, but there's more to life than that. Faxing and the Internet have created a global community. The kid next door has become the kid in Latin America or Asia."
"What this is all about is political will. If our own country [Canada] and other countries made it clear that child labor is both illegal and unacceptable, then this problem wouldn't exist."
"The struggle began several years ago in communities and in cities in South America and Africa, where children were sold, tricked or forced into bondage as carpet weavers, domestic servants and child prostitutes. Now, children and adults march in the streets of Calcutta to protest. North Americans are not saving these children; we are supporting them in their struggle."
"We so often feel powerless to do anything about the many problems in the world around us. We are so often left to wonder whether one person can possibly make a difference. Mother Teresa said yes we can. Her life was resounding proof that it is possible."
"Children working in the carpet industry often suffer from many health problems. These include breathing difficulties from inhaling the carpet fibers arthritis in their fingers from tying the tiny knots, and growth deformities from working hunched over their looms for so long every day."
"I was deeply moved by the stories of Munnilal, Mohan, and those of other children who had been rescued from the carpet factories in India. Our research in that country led us to the discovery of Rugmark, a label attached to hand-knotted or hand-woven carpets to indicate they are made without child labour. Rugmark is a solution initiated by people in South Asia and not by the Western world ... During my visit to Brazil, I became acquainted with a similar labeling system being used in that country for products made without child labour."
Hope this helps you. :D
