I just caught the end of what was an eye-opening documentary.
China Blue directed by Micha X. Peled. He was in one the Chinese jean-making factory.
He followed the story of a young girl named Jasmine who was working in a jean making factory that get shipped off to Wal-Mart.
At the end words came up on the screen that read "while youve been watching this, Jasmine and two other girls have made 50 pairs of jeans ready for shipping. Theyve made $1.47 altogether."
How sad is that! But its not only the retailers' bad, its ours too - the consumer.
"Its not my country, its not my problem, i dont have to be there"
Well, if they just decided they didnt want to make our fancy clothes anymore and left the factory, then where would you be left? Lucky for us, they cant do that, or they'll have nothing to live on.
I speak for myself too so....
"Better to be lowly in spirirt with the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud" Proverbs 16:19.
