Secrets of Chocolate by Nelson Pagan

                        The Hershey Company is not just any usual chocolate making company. Other than their delicious chocolate, Hershey does not have machines that make chocolate out of no where. The beginning of the creation of chocolate starts in West Africa. The poor children are working their legs and arms off making chocolate for the Hershey. What is the thing that the children do? Where do they work? What is the name of what they do? Soon all your questions will be answered.


             The children work hard and suffer painful things. The children are victims of child labor. The children’s role on the cocoa farms for the Hershey company is that first they take fresh cocoa beans from trees in West Africa. Next, they cut the cocoa beans with a machete and place the seeds out in under the Sun. Then, once the seeds have been dried they are sent to the Hershey Company. Finally, this same cycle continues on and on until someone puts a stop to it. They’re many different dangers in the fields that they work in. The chemicals can give them diseases and the rough ground can make them trip and they might have a deep painful cut.

    I suggest that people from all around the world should do everything they can to stop child labor. They should go to the cocoa farms and arrest the people that are forcing them to do child labor. They should also take the children to their rightful homes. The poor children are crying and praying that they can return to their homes. They are working so hard just to get about $1.00 each day. Someone should really put a stop to this.  

               Do you want this child labor to keep on forever? Do you want to just see children suffer in pain begging for food and medical help? I know I wouldn’t do that. It is good that there are people out there, doing many things to help these children. One day, the children are going to be free from doing child labor and they would live a happy free life.
