The silver mines of golden children

Watching children and young adolescents push loaded wheelbarrows out of the dark corridors of the tin, zinc and silver mines of the Bolivian town of Potosi, it is clear that the harsh reality of adulthood comes far too early.
This silver is used to make fine jewelry. The purpose of  this blog is to show the world that these children have no other option rather than working on these mines. If you buy a piece of jewelry from this website you will be donating 10% of you buy to the foundation dedicated to help this children fulfill their dreams and stop working.
