Photojournale : Photo documentary and photo journal stories from around the world - Fallen Stars : Child Labour in Bangladesh http://bladepicturecompany.com/categories.php?cat_id=301 I have started my project on child labor from last three years. I am documenting life of child labor, which was a result of curiosity of many children. I�m influenced by great writer Nikolai Ostrovsky.
I am very much interested to those children who work away from their home and family. I wonder how they cope up with their daily life with that hazardous condition like brickfield, aluminum factory, shipyard and garbage dump yard. I�ve started following Shafik (11) and few others who work in a brickfield in Chittagong. His family live in an Island named Hatia in Bay of Bengal. Shafik working at Bakkar brickfield, as his father wants him to do so. His father took 6000 BDT (80$) for six months agreement from master, who collect children as a labor from different villages of Bangladesh. I would like to document Shafik and few other child labour�s lives, dreams and future following few of them on their working environment and their family living different districts of Bangladesh, Asian & African countries. I would like to document their lives, dreams and undervalued labor of these children with my work.
