Letter to Iqubal

   

       Dear, Iqbal

    Hello Iqbal. I am Christine.
In our class, we read the article about you and the child labor. I felt 'How could they do that to children!',  'Why can't children have freedom there!' and "Who made that non-sense thing (rule)! Is it a new rule? A law?" I was so angry. How could they treat people like dogs! It was so unfair. How do I know? It is because I can understand your feeling not 100% but some. We did a simulation about working in the factories. It felt like we were treated like dogs! I didn't like that it really felt annoyed too. When they say "Work harder!" and "Hurry up!", it is really annoying. But workings were children's life so that could be... I can't explain. Working for 10 hours and earning 1 Rupees ($0.015) per day! That is impossible! Your right about protesting. I definitely agree with you about the horrible and unfair child labor.
Relating to this child labor, I also have some questions to ask you. "How old were you when you started working?", "Why did you start working?" and "Do you have a sibling?" I know you can't but I was just wondering. I think you were so brave. It is not easy to protest at your age. I really admire your courage. I know that child labor will be completely disappear because of your amazing work. It was a big shame of me not knowing other children on the other side of the world working like this.  When I grow up, I will try to support many of the children in child labor. When you are born again, I hope you are going to born again in a rich and happy family. Have a good time comfortably.

     Sincerely,
            Christine
