    Good Action.but how old were the Girls and why were the Girls sent to children home ,not to their houses.?do they not have parents?It is not enough once with trompete and horns to save some children once in a year,but see that the Company doesn't employ further children when press People went home.It is hard sometimes poor People have no other meaning but children too have to share.

    Any legal action on the employer or warning to the parents of these children?
    Very sad indeed. Poverty and unemployment may be one of the reasons parent forcing minors to work and earn.
