Child labour in quarries
Big stones to small stones, from hour to hour, from day to day, every week, every year for an income which is so shabby that the whole family has to sell itself.

To work in quarries it doesn't matter how old you are and which sex you have. Workforce and of course the profit for the owner is the only thing which is from interest. To make big profits a lot of work has to be done for very little income.

At first rocks are destroyed with the help of dynamite and after that people have to work with airhammers. In the end there is only handwork left.

Every time again accidents are caused, squeezed limbs, broken arms, smashed bodies... How many children already had to die, nobody knows.

Children who start to work at a very young age don't know the meaning of a good childhood. Going to school, living in a comfortable house, playing, eating healthy food... all that are things they'll never get to know. For them life means work!
