In our ordinary day we are not aware of what is happening around us, we do not believe that there are cultures in the world with different point of view from our, different values and habits. Some cultures do not respect the children andhumanity rights.
In Ghana, there are children who are sold by their parents for less than 27 pounds. Children are trafficked around 3/4 years old. These children work 14 hours a day, seven days a week on the Lake Volta, the largest artificial lake in the world. They are abandoned by their responsables. These children are kept in captivity by the the people that buy them. As that children are exploited, abused and living in isolated islands with no opportunities to escape. Terrified, don't know their name and most of them don't even know their age.
It's sad that it happends today, in a world more and more developed, there are children living like this way, while in parts of the world, has children who live with all the comodities, happy with everything a child is entitled, the right of be happy, to play, to be a child.
