Grade 9 Class Interested in Raising Awareness of Child Labor 

In the 9th grade Modern World History class we have been exploring the issue of child labor in both historical and modern times. We have learned that over 215 million children work in today’s world and 12 million are trafficked each year, thus preventing them from receiving a proper education. We are currently working on the question, how can we help eradicate child labor? Being a class of 45 students in Ethiopia, we cannot do much about the child labor that is going on around the world, but we can make a difference in the community around us. We know that some of you work for organizations that focus on the eradication and prevention of child labor. We would like to work with you to raise awareness on the issue. If you are willing to helps us on our project or to share your knowledge, please contact our teachers: Mr. Greenough at brian.greenough(at)icsaddis.edu.et or Michael Yimesgen at michael.yimesgen(at)icsaddis.edu.et.
