Read between the words 2: Dark-ened choco
An article has taken me.
"...until the taste of innocent children’s blood is removed from my favorite Cadbury’s Hazelnut chocolate bar and other chocolate candies that I enjoyed before, I will no longer have any."
From PDI article about how kids working in cocoa plantations in Africa are "paid nothing, fed cheap food, beaten up regularly, forced to work 60 to 100 hours a week...and kept under lock at night". So much like some of our kabayans working as househelp in the Middle East.
So unprotected.
" Instead of parents to love and guide them, they have torturers. Instead of getting an education, they are condemned to a life of ignorance."
i am hoping people will begin to treat each other fairly. we are lucky not to be their slaves. let us keep our fingers crossed.
dropping by :)
pards, ito ang isa sa mga daing ng mga kabayan natin kasambahay...
