Ok, so I'm the 10,000th viewer of ths vdo. Congrats 2 the uploaders 4 mking it to 5 figure viewing. Bt 2 the 9,000 viewers & the 27 commentators b4 me, i ask u ths: How many of u wre actualy inspired 2 do smthng 4 these unfortunate kids beyond the arias of "i cried so much boo hoo hoo"? If u jst sat thre feeding ur emotional holownes 2 the sights & sounds of ths clip thn al u hve done is 2 feed the uploaders' ego & perpetuated the hype of their college project beyond the acedemic corridors!

@terrainofthought thanks for taking out time to comment ... i assume u r from Pakistan ! u know what the conditions are in the country ! people have 5-6 kids where they cant even afford 2 , there r people who sell their kids because they cant feed them ... we r the ones who can make a difference by bringing these things up ... the change starts at a smaller level ... its about how much change everyone can bring ... if we cant stop it everywhere atleast we condemn it ..

the point of doing a project on Child labour was because we believed in the topic. its not ego boosting for me to see there were 10000 clicks ... to be honest ! apart from stopping such a thing at my place i cant do anything about it ! though i do believe that more shud be done about it !

i don't think there is anything wrong with children working, it builds character and prepares them for the working world, besides they would otherwise be out on the street making trouble or doing drugs. i bought shirts made in Pakistan and they weren't that good so these children need more training.

@craigenputtock if u actually see these kids working u might feel bad too ! this video is quite toned down compared to what is actually happening ! they get abused and do drugs only when they r not doign what they shud be ! and that is going to schools !

At the end of the video it says "Stop Child Labor". Sure. that would be wonderful, but how can it be stopped? If the children are not allowed to work, they and their families don't eat. More must be done then just not buying Nike shoes and soccer balls. The parents income has to somehow increase so their children don't need to work.

@mrsevans1000 there are organizations working towards it ! they have schools and training centers where they give the children skills and they work as skilled labour which too is child labour but not an extreme form and has better wages ! i think if u cant educate them u teach them some skills so they can earn a livelihood for their families !!

this isnt right at all. these children deserve a childhood where they can play tag, barbies, ride bikes, go to the movies, play kiss chasy and be happy. something needs to be done.

Terrorists are breed, born, and trained to kill Americans in Pakistan. And unfortunately, terrror groups recruit young ones like these poor children to fight with them.

this is a very inspiring video...my friends and I have taken the initiative to teach children for free and bring an end to child labor. check out Kaizen Pakistan on facebook if you like :D

@Poocher360 play 'Barbies"? See thts the kind of unbridled emotionality that perpetuates the vicious cycle of exploitation. When u cut out the cancer from the body u dnt leave the cute looking polyp in jst becasue. It has to be a complete excision. Did u know that the compelling testimony is on record givn by Charles Kernaghan of the National Labor Committee (US), about the work conditions (10-day contracts, 14-hour work days, child labor) in a Chinese toy factory making BARBIES for Mattel?

@Sandrita824 we can do better ... STOP AMERICAN & EUROPEAN COMPANIES FROM PERPETUATING THEIR EXPLOITATION TO THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES!

@Sandrita824 of crse Iqbal Masih's sufering mkes my heart bleed 2. Bt Iqbal hd 'Masih' embelished acros hs name & so no wonder he ws swept off his feet to Boston. Thre r 1000s of Imuslim qbals in Pakistan who sufer worse fate thn hm. I wish Boston ws as wlcoming to thm al. & isn't it ironic tht Americans, whose multinationals like nike, adiadas, microsoft & apple etc hve fr the longst time perpetuated child labor & profited frm it now "cry" ovr stories of exploitation they hlpd write?
