Congratulations
SANDBOCS really outdid themselves tonight! Congratulations to each
world changer- you have brought your vision, compassion, creativity,
kindness, and fun-loving spirits to each meeting, and tonight was the
clear result of your labor. It is time to rest for a month or two, and
think about goals for the year ahead. We will begin our meetings again
in September.
Until then, my heartfelt thank you to all of the SANDBOCS heroes, who
have brought renewed energy to my work and have reminded me to pay
attention to the world around me, always try to do what is right, learn
as much as I can when I don't know something, and speak up to
injustice.

Global March Against Child Labor
June 12 marks the worldwide Global March Against Child Labor. Sadly, SANDBOCS can't make the trip to DC this year to join the events. Instead, we will host a community forum about child labor on June 17. Next year, DC, with a stop first at the United Nations to meet with representatives from the ILO. It is good to have a goal!

SANDBOCS goes public
Today marked the first public appearance of SANDBOCS, as we presented our child labor education forum at the Peacemakers Summit at Hampshire College, in western Massachusetts. What does our work have to do with peace? Our work against the exploitation of children aims to bring peace to the lives of children worldwide who suffer needlessly due to poverty. 256 million child laborers work in hazardous conditions for little or no pay, and are denied an education. SANDBOCS is committed to ending this cycle throughout the world.
