Happy "CRACKER FREE" Diwali

Hi everybody! I'm back! Today I want to talk to you about this Diwali. Apart from having fun with crackers and all that stuff, have you ever thought, all this fun I'm having, where do these crackers come from? Who made them? Let me tell you. These crackers are made in cracker factories. but do you know who makes them? Children like me. Every year 1000 children are KILLED because of these factories.Would you ever in your entire life send your children to work in factories? Not just your children ANY children at all? I'm not saying don't follow you TRADITION because crackers were never a part of our tradition. Diwali is also known as the festival of light NOT the festival of KILLING, AIR POLLUTION AND NOISE? This Diwali for children and animals sake, please light a diya instead. Today I will tell you a short story that I wrote . It is about a boy named Amrit and how he has been sent to a factory to make crackers and there he dies at the age of 8.

Amrit was one of the million children working for PEANUTS in the cracker factory he sometimes wasn't even allowed bathroom breaks. Everyday he would burn his body and when he went home his mother would cry to see the state of him but what could they do she had no money at all.He knew  that he was going to die because no one,not even the manager, cared for the children. He knew the reason they did not use adults to do this job children have tiny fingers which can make mini things. Then at a fire he died but what did the cracker managers do? nothing. He was just 1 of the million others. Not just Amrit but thousands of other children die too.

I hope you save one child's life this year.
