Most importantly the young children get their dreams stolen, they don’t get a fulfilling youth, and they don’t get any education at all. About 218 million children in the age 5-17 take part in child labor, not including domestic labor.

What are they doing?
• To try and fix this issue they are sending in teams to different countries to interview, help work, helping get their rights, and get food for the people.
• They are also raising awareness, which is good because not enough people are aware of how drastic international labor is.

Things we like about their program
• What I like most about their program is that its just such a big organization. They can send crews everywhere plus they have a lot of money that they give to charity.
• Also I like how they directly try to help, not like some other NGO’s that just send money and are satisfied.

Aim
Our group, I.M.T. (International Migration Team) is focused on the migrant workers in Shanghai
![Page 23: Labor Powerpoint by Liam, Theo and Tom](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052523/55598624d8b42ac7648b4688/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Aim
• Connect with some of the migrant workers here, or near the close by area
• Make a you tube video because a lot of people go to you tube every day
• Raise awareness of this issue, very little people know much about it
![Page 24: Labor Powerpoint by Liam, Theo and Tom](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052523/55598624d8b42ac7648b4688/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Purpose and Message
• Our group wants to tell people about our issue because of the unfair treatments and labor.
• In Chinese factories people get abused and they get the worse working environments
![Page 25: Labor Powerpoint by Liam, Theo and Tom](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052523/55598624d8b42ac7648b4688/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Purpose and Message
• In these factories or construction sites people get an unsafe workplace and they don't get the basic protection equipments.
• In their dorms over 15 men share a dormitory not bigger than a common bedroom. We hope to tell people our message by raising awareness and starting mini organizations in schools all around china.

“I was the son of an immigrant. I experienced bigotry, intolerance, and prejudice, even as so many of you have. Instead of allowing these things to embitter me, I took them as spurs to make strenuous effort” ~ Andre Bernard Buruch
