= = =Lines of Inquiry= Our responsibility to help stop child labor. How child labor is connected to poverty, shelter, education, health and clean water.

**Mission statement**
We are going to take action by ourselves and help stop child labor in China/HK. And try to do this while following our Rules and guidelines at the same time.

**Rules/Guidelines**
Listen to each others' ideas Don't give up Reach for the best Don't judge an idea until you have tried it

Problem
Our problem is Child Labor. Where some children's families' are so poor that the children have to work as a living until they reach their eighteenth year of life and stay home to look after younger siblings. Their families' do not get acces to a lot of things including, clean water, clean air, food, toilets, edgucation/school and helter.

Research
About 2,000 children in Hong Kong are under child labor. 61% of children are under child labor in Asia. In China children don't start child labor until they are 5-6 years old. Children die of child labor. Apple has admitted that child labor was used in their factories of making iPhones. Nike uses child labor.

Question / Concept
How can we stop child labor? Who is causing it? Who is tying to help stop it too? Why does it happen? What is child labor? Where are the most popular places where it happens?

Action Ideas

 * Make a pamflet
 * Hand out paper with a list of shops that use child labor so that people won't buy from them
 * Video of facts
 * Make a petition so that people will sign it and we will send it to the companies that use child labor.
 * Make a page on the wiki about our info with action for people to visit and on our websites too.
