7th and 8th Grade - Child Labor

Child labor is a problem that affects young people like you, in places all over the world, including the US. When children are forced to work, they often miss out on the chance to live a normal life, and do the things that we take for granted (go to school, spend time with their friends and family, etc.). Please read the story of Basilio, a child who worked in a mine in Bolivia.

Read about Basilio on this website:

When you are finished, please answer the Questions on your teacher's blog.
