Child labor in Burkina gold mines

Here is an article from Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Larry C. Price highlighting a photo project he has done to expose child labor in Burkina. 

These are real people. This is happening where I now live. Please take the time to read and become more aware of the conditions children are forced to endure here. 

Please pray that photo documentaries like this will help bring enough attention to this issue in order to sway the Burkinabé government to begin enforcing the laws already established to prevent child labor from continuing. Please pray for a mentality shift in the people of authority here who are condoning this activity.

These children deserve better.....
