About

Call to writers anywhere -- here's your chance to make a difference in the world and be published in a high-quality anthology. Please consider joining us to help reduce child labor in Asia. Could you write a compelling short story with a third-world child as protagonist if you were provided plenty of background information? Would you be willing to donate your story to be included in an anthology for sale, the proceeds of which would go to help rescue kids enslaved as factory, mine, or industrial workers, working long hours in poor conditions, often without pay? If so, join us in producing CHILDHOOD REGAINED – Stories of Hope for Asian Child Workers.
