Too Young to Work

This is a picture I found about a terrible practice of child labor. Many years ago, I visited a beedi 


factory in my husband's hometown in Tamil Nadu (the word factory is misleading, it was just a 


crowded dingy courtyard with many girls using their small fingers to roll up cut tobacco in tobacco 


leaves, rolling up to 1000 a day)! 


I was so naïve, and didn't protest this practice,  I was just intrigued. Now I understand much more, 


and I'm appalled at this case of child labor (and all cases of child labor across the globe), and am 


working against it.
