We watched video's today about children who work. There was one video where the screen was cut in half and there was a child like me and in the other side there was a poor kid who was making shoes. At the end of the video one boy took off his shoes and the other boy had made the shoes and it said 'Somethings are more valuable than you think.' The message was beware of the things you buy because it could be made by children. It made me think that I should be aware of what I buy. I think it is interesting how they set out the movie and people were doing different things. The song that went with it was very powerful.

It made me realise that we are lucky that we have school and that we don't have to do hard, dangerous work. We have good clothes and shoes. We can take action by not buying the things that children are forced to make.

Lyka, I think more important than beware, is be aware. You don't have to be scared of things, or worried, but if you know where your good come from you have more control over supporting other people's rights.
ReplyDeleteRemember that video we saw from Mr. Chris,https://vimeo.com/85007374, by knowing more about where our clothes and food come from, we can make a difference in how people are treated. It's an everyday action we can take to make the world a better place.
Thank you for the idea Mr Joe. We are trying to work out how we can find out this information because we think the people in the shops and markets might not know. Do you know how we can find out?
