The poor aren't lazy.
In this video I meet 30 kids who were forced to choose between either putting food on the table or getting an education. They are able to study part-time (for two hours each day) because local community members in this rural village pooled their money to form an informal school. The school teacher teaches these children English, Bengali, and Math all for a salary of $15 a month.
Bangladesh is a small country with over 150 million people (half the population of the USA) in South Asia. It is not Mexico (!?).
About My Reaction to the Various Names: This video isn't scripted - those were my genuine reactions at the time. I still have problems pronouncing the various Muslim names in this country. The regional accent made it even harder to understand the names. One of the reasons I asked "You're Muslim and your name is Johnny?" is because Western/European names are usually common with the Christian community that lives in an adjacent town.

Actually, redwoodresidence, you're wrong. These kids work for real employers are are paid real cash. Not a lot. But it isn't at all the same as doing chores for your mom and dad. That kind of equivalency is does a disservice to the issue of child labor in Bangladesh.
its crazy how the world works from all these jobs to making new jobs to making new stores, i see all this space in the world from the country to riding on the highway to a new city, america can because we have the materials to make it , but why , nobody invests bullshit government thats rich of their asses that only want their own...this world has alot of money, just remember when god asks yoou ..............all i have to say........................... .have u done enything good in ur life....
definitely not - it just through me off for a second. Since so many of the names I had to memorize were really different. Also, there was a Catholic community not far - so it was entirely possible he was from that community.
