Blog Entry #1

Welcome to my Social Justice Blog “E.C.L” which stands for “end child labor”. This blog surrounds the main idea of Child labor, specifically around South Sudan. You may be thinking, what is child labor. Child labor is the use of children in business or industry, especially when illegal or considered inhumane. I have chosen this specific topic for my blog because the passion I hold towards it. Knowing that there are children all over the world that are deprived of an education and wellness due to child labor and is heart breaking. My whole life I have been privileged with the fundamentals of freedom due to living in a democratic country. I have to appreciate the easy life I've been provided along with giving back in return. By doing so, I have the determination to end child labor. I believe every child should live a great life. I know I might not be able to end child labor completely, so I have started small. I have chosen a place in the world with the child labor characteristics, specifically a country. I have chosen South Sudan. South Sudan is one of the top countries dealing with child labor today. Many organizations such as free the children, stop child labor etc. help with the child labor issue. I would love to contribute to these causes and help end child labor. So far I have started to have a grasp on the general idea of change. I have searched and still am looking for ways to end child labor in South Sudan. I have provided a step plan for this "end child labor project "and a planner to keep check on my progress. What I have leaned so far includes different ways on creating change on this topic , specifically what I can do and what the community can do. Ways I can create change is, endorsing the project to my fellow community, persuading. My plan includes community involvement such as my own school and or across the peel district school and the general community. I can arrange assembles in the school , post pictures or photos all over the school , to help endorse my project to end child labor in South Sudan. The community involvement consists of community get togethers, information nights and activities or events to help with the cause. Being the JR VP for the Louise Arbour has given the knowledge with social justice issues and awareness and has made a step plan even easier to understand. So far I have done no significant work towards my social action. But I have many ideas and creative actions on the way to help end or minimize child labor in South Sudan .
