Elizabeth Bloomer: Child Labor Activist

Very well written based on actual accounts of child labor abuse. Proficiently shows how a young Pakistan boy's life and tragic death deeply touches the heart of one girl, Elizabeth Bloomer. Definitely makes one think twice about purchasing certain items and wondering who is really making the product and under what conditions. Really was an eye opener! Very moving and inspiring.
