Child labour in India

All of you reading this are fortunate enough to grow up in a nice, cosy environment filled with love. Most of the children in the world aren't even given the opportunity to have a glimpse of a normal household. This cycle of child labour would not stop if we, being the capable ones do not lend a helping hand to end this disgraceful act. Even if it's just a simple gesture like buying Fairtrade products, it would still contribute to this campaign. I urge you all to spread this meaningful message to raise awareness for children all over the world. Thank you!
