Rugmark is a clear message to those companies using child labor, not only are <br />customers informed, but that they refuse to knowingly purchase goods made <br />by children. <br />One example of a creative solution to child labor being practiced in South <br />America is a program called Tierra del Vido. It is a program that offers <br />children altemative employment to the usual work in coal mines. The <br />children still work, but they work outdoors, cultivating fruits and vegetables <br />that will go to feed hungry children, and they have enough time to attend <br />school in the evenings. <br />Education is the key to breaking the cycle of child labor. A basic education <br />is what will enable children to obtain jobs other than those in coal mines or <br />textile sweatshops. Educated children grow up to be educated adults, more <br />able to provide for their families and therefore less likely to subject their <br />children to the torture of child labor. <br />
