•• Hey all, Lani here ••
Sorry I haven't posted in a little while :p
Today I've just been thinking about how a lot of people don't actually think about the slave labour that goes into making their favourite chocolate treats. While they're stuffing their faces with chocolate, there are innocent children who even though it's against their human rights are forced to work on cocoa plantations.
Earlier on today I made a photo collage of child cocoa slaves, with the slogan
"Is the suffering of these kids really worth the cocoa beans you need for your favourite chocolate treat".
Just ask yourself that question. Would you rather put a child through the pain of slaving away to harvest the beans for your chocolate pleasures OR could you say no to this act of cruelty and sacrifice not eating a food you enjoy? Is it really that much to ask?
Coming to the end of my entry I thought I might leave you with some quotes by some very wise men; Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu and William Wilberforce.
Just to remind you that the focus of this blog is to help support the Unitued Nations International Day for the Rememberance of the Slave Trade and it's abolition which is August 23rd.
To end this entry I will leave you
with the words of William
Wilberforce one of the main people
who played of vital role in
abolishing the Slave Trade --->
For more information on August 23rd and why it is such an important day, have a look on
