I’m sorry this blog is still under construction, but shortly it will become very coherent with stories, news, updates and a lot of variations on the theme Child Miners.

I am thrilled that people with such minds are emerging. The internet is a power medium through which the ball of CHANGE can be set in motion. In response to what jeffery has alluded to, WE ARE ALL partly contributing to child labor in the way of house helps, house-boys and such. I have on occasion spoken out against this to various members of my family and the arguement that ensues is that, the children are actually being provided with a 'better quality of life', while i dont entirely denounce that statement i do think than one should take the children to school then if one were really serious about providing a better quality of life. If the parents of these poor children are really short on money and food then perhaps they should be the ones being the house helps or the house-boys. We should be ashamed of oursleves. As parents, surely they should be out tirelessly trying to bring something into the household not sending their children out while they sit at home.
We are the first to condemn the whiteman for the slave trade, well perhaps we should really reflect because yes the brutal and inhumane capturing and enslaving of africans and indians has been abolished, but the slave trade is without question still in action. Indeed, the slave trade is alive and well, and flourishing. It has only taken a new name, child labour. What are we doing about this?
How would we like it if it were us being sent out to the mines, or to some strangers house to look after their house and children when we are still in need of care ourselves? God Help us!
