Child Labour


          Child Labour has become an important issue nowadays.  Many developing countries still use child labour in sweatshops; for instance Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Vietnam.  Although several deloped countries have issued the ban for child labour, it seems that the child labour itself gives not only disadvantages but also advantages for their society and their country.
          Child labour has several advantages.  Firstly, it can improve the quality of children's life generally which means they can earn money to buy food for themselves.  Secondly, children who work to earn money can support their family's life automatically.  They help their parents to fulfill their basic needs, such as food, house, and basec education.  Thirdly, child labour also increases the economic growth of their country because they work at sweatshops which generally produce certain products in a big number to export to other countries.
          In contrary, disadvantages are also caused by child labour.  Firstly, children who work in sweatshops will not have time to enjoy their childhood; consequently it will give a bad impact psycologically to themselves.  Secondly, parents of those children are not challenged to work harder because their children know how to make money for themselves.
          In conclusion, children need more attention from people who live around them.  Child labour not only can be helpful for some of them but also can be harmful to theirlife. Furthermore, goverments, and society must be concerned to solve this problem because the future of the world is in those children's hands.

Sampai Jumpa, Angga

Sabtu pagi, 24 Mei 2020, pukul 07.22 ia masih melakukan panggilan video ke ponselku, namun tak terangkat. Kami bertemu dalam panggilan video selanjutnya melalui ponsel ibuku sekitar pukul 09.00 di rumah Jatra, rumah yang melengkapi puzzle masa kecilnya, rumah tempat ia pulang tiga tahun lalu. Ada yang berbeda pada wajahnya di lebaran pertama itu. Lebih tirus dan pasi. Kulihat kilauan buliran keringat di keningnya. Rambutnya basah. Jelas ia sedang tidak begitu sehat. Pun begitu, setiap kata, senyum, dan deraian tawanya tetap menyegarkan. Kami saling memohon maaf. Ia berbicara sambil merangkul maminya.  "Uni, maafkan Angga lahir batin ya, Ni. Insyaallah kita nanti ketemu di Jambi,"ucapnya sembari melambaikan tangan gempalnya.  "Iya. Uni tunggu, ya." "Insyaallah, Ni,"pungkasnya sebelum ia menepi dan membiarkan maminya berbicara. Sapa, maaf, dan tawa mengalir ke satu-persatu pasukan Pakis 74.  "Uni, bisakan kami nginap di ru
