Hello everyone. My name is Morie Hirai. I’m interested in a developing country. So, I’m just talk about children in the world.
Last week, I watched a TV program. The title is “If the world were a village of 100 people.”
I watched a boy who works for his family. His name is Abedi. His age is 9. He has to work in a mountain because his father deserted them
His job is mining a hole to fin gold. Therefore, he must come in a hole. He uses a bar. The size of hole is about 1 meter and the depth is about 15 meters.
The hole is fitted into grown size. So he stretches his hand and foot and ups and downs. If he slips, it means his death. But, this conduct is performed five times a day. While he works, his meal is only water.
He lives in his boss’s house. So, a day he can meet his family is a day in a week. He often says “I want to live with my mother” And a man asks about his treasure. The answer was “Nothing. I have no a toy” Then, he asked “Gold is such a good thing?”
Again I say. He works to live with his family. Do you know his dream? It is to study in a school.
I watched other children, too. They live very robust but narrow.
Have you ever become hard to live? Please imagine world children.
