Your articles are from 2012 and 2013. Strange how there hasn't been anything else in the media about this since then. Even the left-wing media. BTW, do you have a smartphone? Bob |

I know right, strange how there hasn't been anything in American media about Rwanda, they are usually so concerned about what's going on there, and writing hundreds of reports and articles about the region!

BTW, do you have a smartphone? Yes. Why? Do you need to set up an ad hominem argument? |

I know right, strange how there hasn't been anything in American media about Rwanda, they are usually so concerned about what's going on there, and writing hundreds of reports and articles about the region! I did find this: "One of the most difficult things to square as a consumer is the knowledge that not everyone who worked to produce your clothes, your food and your electronics wouldn’t be old enough to work if they lived in the United States. There are of course oversights at factories all over the world, but even the biggest companies can’t catch everything. Thankfully, some are willing to take action when they find children in their factories. Over the weekend, a Redditor with the handle Illegal_sal shared a link to Apple’s Labor and Human Rights page on the company’s Supplier Responsibility subsite. On that page, Apple explains what happens when it discovers that child labor laws have been violated at a factory building its devices: “We do not tolerate underage labor in our supply chain. If we find underage workers in our suppliers’ factories, we make the suppliers return the children to their homes, pay for their education at a school of their family’s choice, and continue to provide income for basic needs until they reach the legal working age. We also enlist a third-party organization to monitor the children’s progress and report back to us. After they complete their education, suppliers must offer them reemployment. In 2015, we found three cases of underage labor — and we will continue to look for it.” When Quartz looked into this program several years ago, it discovered that the participation rate for underage workers who were given the opportunity to participate in Apple’s free education program in 2011 was around 34%. While that is certainly a discouraging number, it’s nice to see that the pressure labor activists have put on Apple over the past several years has forced the company to take a more active approach." bgr.com/2017/01/23/apple-factory-child-labor-laws/So the articles you posted are dated. But now you can use your i-phone with a clear conscience.  Bob |

What I really miss are film cameras. I used to take pictures all the time, but now I just don't do much anymore. I do have a couple of digital cameras, but it just doesn't have the same feeling anymore of taking it to the drug store before work and getting back the photos on the way home, and looking at how they turned out. It was easy then. Drop it off; pick them up.
