Children Mining Diamonds in Liberia
Children Mining
Diamonds in Liberia
From VOA learning English. Many children in Liberia are
leaving school to work in diamond mine. Half of students dropped out this year
to work in there. Although, working in the diamond mine is difficult and
dangerous, they also work in there since they can earn much money. It’s well
known that children under 18 years old cannot work but they do. It seems that
they are illegal. It isn’t good for children to leave the school and work in
the diamond mine. The important for them to do now is study because knowledge
can help them to have a good work.
