The Mica comes from the child labor and families working in the Mines of Madagascar. If it weren't for them we would have no Mica for cars, and buses, and any other transportation, and they don't get any of that all they get is 2 dollars. Plus they get hurt doing all of this mining like some of them get headaches and some of them get sick and it is sad and moving. Mica as I said before is used for the transportation. Plus the mica is used for inventions we need and child labor in Madagascar is the reason we're getting all this technology and inventory. They are all getting terrible diseases that is so sad like sickness, backaches, headaches, and earaches. They suffer all this to survive just getting rice. It is so sad. It is like we don't care about Madagascar laboring because of our devices and transportation and it is not that I don't like it I love my devices it is just not fair for the people who are working. Most of that Mica is given to China . At least the Malagasy people should get some of their creation. Child Labor is supposed to be extinct.]]> 2021-05-20 14:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tcpssb/xu2g5bokrj0g3b2b/wish/1544000420 Dilani https://padlet.com/tcpssb/xu2g5bokrj0g3b2b/wish/1544001114 1.Mica comes from Madagascar

  • Mines in Madagascar provide mica.
  •  Mica is in our electronics and vehicles.
  • Children have to work in unsafe environments. They do not wear protective equipment. They have to do child labour or they will die. They are really young and do not need to be put at work. They are only little children.
  • No because then they will have no money and will die of hunger,thirst,etc.
  • Companies who buy mica should ask who has dug it up.
  • Fundraisers, charities, donations, switch children workers with adult workers, and make the payment better.

    6. Give them much and much attention and care, so as all of the countries.
