Child Labour


Child labour is a word that most people don’t know the definition of. I have the classification; small children between the ages of 4 to 18 who are working instead of getting educated. Even though working in Jordan is allowed at the age of 18, those children don’t care because they want money to buy food and support their families. That verifies that 1 in 3 children in Jordan are working under the legal age, why? Because of poverty and careless parents who don’t work. Furthermore, most children that work are not getting enough money so they can buy daily life necessities. 
In order to decrease the number of the children working before the age of 18; people should work harder to help those children. This would happen if everyone collected money in boxes specified for this issue in shops, schools, and malls to help those children’s parents. Another important 
One of the important goal is to make sure that children at least can go to Universal primary, because those children are the basic in live, besides getting knowledge is like you’re making or building up a personality for those poor children. 
Moreover getting those children educated will help them to cope with the environment by knowing how to read and talk since they are the next generation. Some of those children will become leaders in the future and they will have to work in order to have a good successful life, based on their knowledge. 
In my opinion, I believe that the education I am getting will help me become the successful lawyer I want to be one I grow up. Hence, those children that are not getting their full rights have the same dreams each and every one of us has. Donating by a small amount will not affect us but will affect those needy children.
