Hey, what do you understand by it? You people know how to criticize only. Ok, do you know what will happen if the people don’t help our farmers???

It is just a help for the country’s future!!! Nothing will happen if the children or students help theri country for one month ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The conscious commerce and consumer is vital to a sustaibable global society. I feel terrible for the children and their families who have endured such degredation of their environment and health. The world watches in sadness but can do very little because of the invisible hands that hold the political and corporate strings together. The people need help and empowerment… I wish I could help.

Thanks for the post with the moving pictures. I might add that it is acually possible in Uzbekistan for children who are forced to pick cotton to pay in order not to do so.
