Eliminating child labour (Nepali)

It is estimated that there are approximately 26 lakhs children who are working as child labourers in Nepal and 80% of it is concentrated in the southern part of the country. The short drama shows how a poor family sends their young son to work in a hotel to earn more money. The young lad is given loads of work in the hotel by the owner. Since the boy is young and innocent he is also sent to the owner’s house for more work after the hotel job.

One day a school teacher happens to stop by that tea shop and sees the young boy working. Surprised by the boys age the teacher then takes the boy along with to her to her school and threatens the tea owner of legal actions against him. This programme clearly indicated that awareness on Child Labour is very essential to eliminate it from the society.
