Boy Migrant

amanda — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 23:22:12 +0000

This anonymous boy is most likely between the ages of 10 and 13. He rises before dawn and works cutting onions, work that is illegal for children below the age of 16. He and his family are also at risk of truancy charges, since he is a school age minor and is not enrolled in school in any of the Texas towns where he works with his family, helping them to fulfill quotas for harvesting vegetables like onions, which bring in a profit of a penny a pound. However, he and his peers constitute a growing part of the workforce in a state that supplies 60% of onion seed and 25% of onions consumed in the USA.

Boy, Bihar, India

This boy works in a factory in Bihar, India, producing light bulbs. His job is to pull bulbs from a spinning centrifuge. The factory is dimly lit, and his work day lasts 12 hours, but his job provides an income to his family in one of the poorest regions of India, and offers some security against his being sold into servitude or sent away to work producing bricks or gravel.

Rosa: Teacher

amanda — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 07:43:45 +0000

Rosa, a teacher at Colima school, taught a class last year called nivelacion. The class was funded through an initiative paid for by Fundazucar (a philanthropic organization of Salvadorean sugar producers) to reintegrate students who have been working in the sugar fields back into classrooms at the proper level. The grant was given to all sugar producing towns for one year. This year Rosa and the rest of Colima school are adjusting as best they can to the new standards requiring that children be brought up to speed without support from Fundazucar. The grant money has moved on to other goals in the schools, such as computer education and adult literacy programs. Rosa and the rest of the teachers at Colima School are working to support the education of truant student workers in Colima, and the diversification of job training for students growing up in a changing agricultural economy.

Yesenia: Onion Picker

amanda — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 22:57:04 +0000

Yesenia, 12, and her brother, 13, begin work before dawn, cutting onions in Eagle Pass, Texas. They left school several years ago to work with their families, moving with the harvests, living transitionally to earn what amounts to a penny a pound for the buckets of onions they haul in at nightfall, when their work day ends. They are among the estimated 400,000 to 500,000 children, many of them citizens, like Yesenia and her brother, working in the agricultural and food industries before the legal age of 16.
