Question

6. Craig Kielburger, the young founder of Free the Children, took on an immense task of starting his own successful organization to combat child labor. What is one small thing that you could do in your school or community to make a difference?

Answer 1

At school we have a big problem which is the growing wave of mental illness in children and adolescents, in most cases these adolescents suffer in silence and at least manage to express to someone how they feel. One way to help teenagers with mental problems would be to do projects and intensify the presence of psychological help in schools so that these people can ask for help and actually be helped by people who have the skills to do so.

Answer 2

Answer: Educating the girl-child

Explanation: Child labor are different means whereby the child is being over exploited or used.their rights are not honoured but trampled on. In Nigeria where I come from, I will love to organize seminars and workshops in high School and colleges. Teenage pregnancy is on the increase in Africa especially in Nigeria where a girl of 9 years is married off by thier parents to old wealthy men and they cannot object to it and also some young girl child don't know how to explain and control their feeling thereby falling prey to child predator who took advantage of them and destroy their self worth and even leading to teenage pregnancy and bad behaviors. I believe the girl child need not be taken for granted and they should be seriously educated and even scholarship should be made available to them.Some Africa parents still believes that the girl child should not be educated and their education ends in the kitchen. I believe seminars to both parents and children will help go a long way. I will also write to the government through my agency to abolish child marriage and also the right of children should be trampled on and offenders be punished.
