They also trained 57,000 farmers in field schools.
Education and training of farmers happen in the "forest".
The training is for the income of farmers.
The farmers learn things such as disease control. So that they can recognize the disease
By 2015 they have built 40 schools. They say that they will continue building schools in places of need.
How can the children go to school if they don't have the money to buy/have pencils, eraser and paper? Is this included in building a school?

It does not have to be a big action. If many people work together and each do a small action, it will come together and will be a gigantic action.
Why should we help end child labour?
Their childhood is robbed
They get diseases
They have no school acess
The children are offered work instead of their parents
Children get hurt
The children and Families are unaware of their rights
They get Physical injuries
Some children get poisoning
Most children and families have long-term health problems
If they would be your children or your brothers and sisters, would you still watch them work and get sick?
The future of a country depends on it's children.

Greenwashing
What is Greenwashing?
When a company spends more time and money on making advertisement of helping (against child labor, environment, etc.) than actually doing it.
Little action = not much effort
Most companies could help.
Enough money
Good buisness
Good advertisement/popular
Why is Greenwashing a problem?
Environment
Greenwashing can encourage and convince doing the opposite of what is good for the environment.
Consumers
Do you really want to buy a product which you think is "green", but is actually not.
Mostly, not as much as the add tells you.
Buisines
The businesses realize that the profit is increasing.
For them it could be easy to improve their impact on the environment - but they don't do it.
A example of Greenwashing:
When a hotel says that they are "green", because they ask their guests to reuse sheets and/or towels. But they do not save water and energy where it counts.
How do I know when a company is really "green"?
Can you easily find the sustainable "action" of the company? Is it believable information?
Google the company name (then add the word environment). Maybe something interesting will appear?
Child labour happens with commitment.
How do the children get to the ivory-cost?
With commitment
How do people which check that there is no child labour, not see child labour if there is?
With commitment.
