What if Craig Kielburger did nothing to help with child labor?

Stupid question. What if? Nothing. Nothing would simply change about this terrible cause. If Craig Kielburger did nothing to help with child labor, everything would be different. Common sense


How did Craig kielburger contribute to society?

Craig Kielburger was a hero (and still is) because he had courage. When he was twelve he spoke out for child labor after seeing the headline "Battled child labor, boy, 12, murdered." This devastated him and he decided as he, a lucky Canadian boy could and must do something about child labor. So he told his class mates about what he saw and asked if anyone would start a "club" with him to find out more about the issue of child labor and how they could help. Eleven hands shot up and Free the Children was born. After putting signs up around the neighborhood saying "Free the Children would like to come to your school and talk about our new organization", many schools asked for them to attend and the word got out. After raising funds to buy schools in third world countries Craig Kielburger got an invite from a man from Bangladesh who would soon become his friend and guide when the former traveled across Asia to see poverty first hand. Though Craig's parents were not keen on the idea of their son at only twelve years old travelling across Asia to see child labourers, he talked them in to it and they decided that since his organization was going great they let him go. For seven weeks Craig took the journey across Asia that would forever change his life. There he saw children that had no idea what school was and had never stepped foot in a classroom, children being released from a carpet factory and getting reunited with their parents, children who wanted to stroke his skin because they had never seen a white person before, a street boy who had absolutely nothing but a soccer shirt and gave it to Craig and a small girl who day after day sorted candy into bags. And finally the he learned that the real heroes are the boys and girls who work in darkness, alone and forgotten. The real heroes are the children who only have their hands, their hearts and their dreams. And together we can set these children free!

How child labor affects the devolopment of the nation?

While child labor can help the country develop economically, it hurts the country's reputation with the rest of the world. Most first world countries consider child labor incredibly unacceptable and often not use products which come from countries which use child labor. It is because of this that development in these countries is often slow.

How do you help child labor?

There are many ways to help child labour. I think the Greenpeace website and the World vision website have things you can do to help. Some brands may endorse child labour, so it is always good to check. India has a lot of child labour and Africa does to. Child labour may be used to harvest the cocoa bean for chocolate and I think some brands have neither confirmed nor denied whether they get there cocoa beans from child slavery.Hope this helps
