Children at Work

Sparks in his eyes: Child labor is a concern in many countries. Above, a Lebanese child works at a blacksmith's workshop -- without donning protective eyewear -- in the northern city of Tripoli on June 12. About 100,000 children under 16 work in Lebanon. Many have dropped out of school so they can help their poor families, and most come from Tripoli and the northern district of Akkar. In addition to working with machinery, children work in jewelry workshops, perform agricultural work, paint, and deliver groceries.
