Blog Entry #2



Welcome back to my "Stop Child Labour" blog.  This entry is going to be mainly about what actions I have done towards reducing or ending child labour in South Sudan. So far I have done what any typical social justice activist would've done. I have gone through my closet and easiest options to start off my journey. The best option of action I chose was to take advantage of the people around me. I asked my father if I could use his workplace as a way to get people more involved. His workplace is a school , so I informed the school on the  consequences and struggles children have to face each and every day due to child labor. Even though I am trying to get my own school involved , I believe it would be better if I could expand my social action into other schools too. I have gotten the students to be informed about my project and how they can help me. I suggested posters and my one or two assemblies to happen to help my pathway to my social action goal be easier and more efficient.   So far this action has had an outcome beyond my expectations.  I thought this wouldn't work out because this wasn't my own school. But it worked out greatly. Following this action would like to have my own school be a part of my social action. My second action was a simple yet a bit effective method. I printed out papers and made a few posters saying " STOP CHILD LABOUR NOW!" and some bigger papers pr posters have " STOP CHILD LABOUR NOW! FOR THE INNOCENT CHILDREN" and a website and contact information of many organizations that help towards it. I posted these messages around my neighborhood , specifically on street lights, public mail boxes and street name poles. I believe this is the best way to get the general public  attention. This will boost my chances of getting much more people involved and maybe city councilmen involved will eventually spread wider and more up the rakes of political power.  I have many more social actions coming along this social justice journey and more potential  outcomes to come hopefully.
