“Well I Know Thy Toil And Trouble”
Child labor is one of the troubling core problems of the South Asian countries, particularly Afghanistan and Pakistan, where a cold-blooded insurgency has paralyzed the already weak system. The insurgents, who fight in the name of religion, have undoubtedly proved their strength in waging wars, but they have, unfortunately, never worked for or talked about problems like child labor and violence against women.
In the first photo, taken in Peshawar in March 2009, two school-age children work hard to earn bread for their families. In the same time, social and political developments and changes have brought a new hope to some of the war-hit people. In the second photo, two children joyfully browse the contents of their laptop computers distributed to them by One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, in Isteqlal High School, Jalalabad, Afghanistan.
