RESTAVEC: THE EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN IN HAITI.


You might think this be an out of place post in a blog dedicated to Small Nations and Minority Peoples but are not children a minority people and are not Children of the World their own Small Nation. That prompts me into the idea of Wales establishing a CHILDRENS NATION CHARITY to specifically support in any number of ways all forms of exploitation and harsh treatment of children. I am not specifically talking about poverty here and disease but rather exploitation as in the Far East and as below in Haiti of which there are similar cases world wide. I am not suited to the setting up of charities but perhaps some one who reads this might be able to move the idea to being more a developing initiative or other wise why not WAG doing something in such direction. Lets do it before Xmas! I must conclude by pointing out that what such a good job the World Service does in bringing attention to such has the below to a Western World now in the grip of it's pre Xmas dose of 'Crack Consumerism'.
