Paper Bag Simulation

 Today we had our second experience of being children involved in child labour. We had to make as many paper bags as we could within 10 minutes. If our bags were not made correctly we would have been beaten, we had to make 10 bags if we wanted a meal that night. It was a scary experience as we were worried about being beaten as we made them (even though we knew this would not REALLY happen to us, but it does for them) and no one was able to make 10, the closest was Tori with 7.


Image if this was real. How would you feel doing this every day, from 4am to 8pm and only making$1.25?

    I feel sorry for the kids that have to make thousands of them and get beaten for not making them right and we only had to make a few and even that was hard.Sophie!!!

    That was hard especially sticking the bottom parts together. I couldn't handle doing that daily.

    I would feel really tired if I had to do that. I feel sorry for those kids that have to do something like that as fast as they can.

    Those bags were quite hard to make, but what can we say because children make them non-stop. Their fingers must get very sore. Greer
