Virus Outbreak Mexico – Child Labor

Andres Gomez, 11, exits the amber mine where he works near the community of Jotolchen II in Chiapas state, Mexico, Thursday, Sept. 10, 2020. Since the start of the new coronavirus pandemic lockdown, Andres works in the mine hoping to find a piece of amber for which a middleman might pay him $1 to $5, but what he really wants is “To learn to read and write,” he said.
