This Is My Life As A Child Laborer.

Now let me tell what goes on a day in my life. I'm so young only 12 & I have to get up early in the morning (not to go to school) to go to work at a gold mind. All I do all day is work & work until I have no more energy, no more strength. They make me go down 50 meters maybe even more just to search for Gold. They want all this gold because.? I know they aren't gonna give me any. It scares me when I have to go 50 meters deep into the ground because I never know what can happen, I never know if something dangerous is below me. When I arrive at work im never, ever happy no one sees me with a smile on my face not even my family. It kills them to see me this way but they say its the only way they can get the money they need. And I wish I can change the world, be president & make a change & definetly make sure no child goes through what im going through right now.

Good job, Cynthia! Very well written. Do you think gold producers, jewelers, etc - all the people who deal with gold in our society - should be responsible for making sure that children aren't taken advantage in mining for gold?
