Child Labor and Neglect

1. Child Labor and Neglect • Children around the world are alone and have to work for their own money. Most of the places they work at, have bad working conditions. They are treated poorly, and are paid very little. Working conditions are so bad that most of the time it affects their health.

2. Education • Education problems thrive in 30 countries. • With a good education, they can have many more opportunities. • Every child has a right to a proper education. • Every day throughout the world, more than 110 million children miss out on going to elementary school.

3. Safety • Many children are kidnapped by militias and forced to do hard labor. • Other children have no choice, but to work in a factory or to betray their birthplace. • Many children in other countries don’t have a safe home to go to or any home period.

4. Health • It costs 350 dollars to build a well, that seems like a lot, but it costs 350 dollars to save the lives of many children. • In other countries such as Ethiopia, there are no ambulances, just two men and a stretcher. • Other places don’t have medicines to cure their deadly diseases.

5. Wealth • 22,000 people live on only a dollar a day. • 90% of all people fail to live on ten dollars or less a day. • 2% of money cost to make weapons could put most children into school, but that hasn’t happen. • Having a roof over your head to sleep in a bed makes you one of the world’s 10% richest humans.

6. Sports and Activities • It is proven that kids with more exercise accomplish more later in life. • Other children need sports and activities to fight off obesity. • A great way to eliminate stress is to go outside and get active.

7. Poverty • 640 million people live without adequate shelter. • 400 million people have no access to safe water. • 270 million people have no access to health services. • 10.6 million children died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5. • Poverty thrives in 30 countries.

8. What We Have Learned • We have learned of how lucky we are for what we have. • We learned that many other people are dying for water, while we swim in it. • A child dies every three seconds of hunger, health, lack of sanitation, and many others.

9. What We Can Do • We can donate to make a well, and as IB students we can provide essential items for children under poverty. • We can take them into our homes as if they were one of our family members, just as Mrs. Wilson did. • We can all spread the word about changing the world one step at a time.

10. Profiles and Attitudes • We all Cooperated when we had to type all of our written reports and our Power Point Presentation. • We all were Committed when we went through the toughest part of the exhibition, which was writing the reports and assembling our boards. • Now we show empathy towards others in the world that have less than we do.
