Getting Involved

So as you read through this blog you are probably wondering how you could help out with this cause and hopefully contribute to putting an end to child labour. Well, there are a lot of different ways that you could help out one the ways that I’ve been stressing throughout most of my blog is to simply try to always buy fair trade products. This method is very simple and produces great results but let’s talk about something new that you might not know about. You could always donate to groups that specialize in stopping child labour for example The Abrinq foundation. I would recommend this one in general because unlike a lot of the NGOs that fight child labour this one focuses on just Brazil instead of the whole world. In one of my previous posts I go more in-depth about this NGO and even leave a link to their website so that you have the option of donating and learning more about them. Even just raising awareness and informing people about the issue helps. Some of the ways you could do that is by simply sharing my blog on your social media or friends. You could also just mention it while talking to people just to get the word around. Lastly, instead of buying items from Brazil try to buy more local not only does this help grow your community but is usually more healthy for you and is way more fresh since it doesn’t have to travel across the world. When you can’t buy things locally or with fair trade just do a quick background on the company to ensure that they produce things fairly and pay their workers a decent wage. Lastly on a more extreme case you could volunteer with groups such as the Abrinq foundation or Save the Children and actually go down to Brazil and physically help out with the problems. This option is very extreme no one is asking you to do this but if you feel strongly enough about this issue then go for it!
