Here’s your assignment: Pretend you are one of the boys working in the mines. Write a post about what you do each day and how it feels to work in the mine. What are you scared about? Are you ever happy? What do you wish you could change?
hi. my name is sharrad.i am 13 years old. And i work in afirca. we work like men. we do dangerous jobs everyday. my job that i do causes hard of hearing, blindness, mental retardation and more. i am very scared of those things. i worry about them everytime i work.i am not happy about this. but i,m happy about working for my family and helping them get money. i wish this could change. because this job that i do is dangerous and i don,t want nothing happening to me. i feel very bad for myself and others. i wsh i can do a much easeier job than this one. i wil love working for my family but this job is to hard and dangerous and i just hope things change around here....!!!!!!!!

Excellent work AMatthew. You really seem to have gotten in the head of one of these boys. Maybe writing blogs like this will get people in the U.S. to force Africa to change...
Good work, Angelina! I like how your post showed an understanding that these children have the responsibilities of adults, but also the fears and worries of adolescents.

Nice, you really made it feel like I was reading a post from a mining child.
