Amelia's letter
Dear Members of the UNICEF,
I am an eleven-year-old girl and come from a small village. I left home to come to the city and to work to send money to my family. Now I make T-shirts in a factory. I work twelve hours a day for very little money. The factory is very dirty and hot. The boss is very hard without breaks. My friends and I want to leave but we know that working in the factory is better than begging in the streets. The bosses tells us this every single day...
Could you please tell us what to do?
Amelia
