CHILD LABOUR 

Makena should remember that fateful day. two years ago when she was only eleven years old. She was walking home with friend lea. A car stopped beside them and rough looking man called them by their names Makena and then Lena come up with me to the shop. I will buy you sodas and cakes and i will take you home.
The children look at one another. Then Makena said we cannot come with you we don't know you. The man got very angry and grabbed makena and pushed her into the car. Lena manage to escape. The man said he threatened to kill Makena if she continue to asking for help. 
After what seemed like a whole day's journey, the car stopped and the man ordered Makena out. He grabbed her hand handled her into a one bed-roomed house. He handed her over to an equally frightening woman.
You will look after my children and the house when i go to work the woman said. makena was too young too tired and too shocked to undersatand that that was the begining  of life as a child labourer. At her tender age makena did all the household chores. She fed and bathed the children washed all the cloth and cleaned the houe. Most of the time there was not enough food and makena slept hungry.
