Picture 12 is extremely revealing to me. The boy looks younger than most 2nd graders in the United Sates. He lives in a small town in India and his parents believe in the value of labor, and not education. Even thought the teachers in surrounding communities are trying to change the views of the people, it is not working. A young boy working in a mine is not right, no matter how you try to justify it. The job requires skills that a young boy can not handle by himself. I believe it is everyone's duty to to everything possible to stop this type of injustice.
