DFC2011

The students at Tagore's High School voted to address the problem of child labour. They discussed how child labour still exists in India despite being illegal. The students talked to parents and children about the importance of education. They invited child labourers to a breakfast program at their school to teach them English basics and inform them about child labour laws. Only three children were able to attend due to their parents requiring them to work. The students learned that economic pressures lead parents to rely on their children's work and plan to continue their education outreach efforts to help address this issue.

WHAT BOTHERS US EVERYDAY? We had a lot of ideas And many students! So we took a vote on the most important issues
ELECTION DAY We voted on the three most important issues that we wanted to work on together. The IX Class A and B Sections voted on 13 different topics. And one of the topics selected was
THE PROBLEM OF CHILD LABOUR FEEL! Everyday we walk to school, and see girls forced to work in their houses and boys forced to work in shops. In 2006, the Indian government made child labour illegal. The children near our houses and near our school are too young to work and not go to school.
H OW D O W E S T O P C H I L D L A B O U R ? To stop child labour we have to know what causes it: Parents send children to work because they need money Parents dont realize the importance of education Children are afraid of being beaten for not working A group discussion about child labour and why it exists.
DO! 1. Talk to parents and children 2. Invite children to our school for a breakfast program. 3. Teach the children English basics since they cannot always go to school, and tell them about the laws against child labour.
S O LV I N G T H E P RO B L E M Discussing child labor with James Tulloch. He works with child laborers in Tuni. Making charts for our breakfast program.
BREAKFAST AT TAGORES Three girls showed up on Sunday morning. The other seven children were kept at work by their parents. We had fun with our new friends!
WHAT DID WE LEARN? Some child laborers have gone to school before, but their parents need them to make money. Everyone can enjoy learning. If we can teach our new friends, it will be easier for them to go back to school. We are going to continue to teach our friends and learn about ways to stop child labour!
