Yesterday ACHA (Action on Children’s Harmful Work in African Agriculture) published the first of a series of mini-essays in which development professionals reflect on their own experiences of working as children. It can be found here: https://acha.global/research_papers/childhood-experiences-of-work-reflection-1-ghana/.
If you would like to share your childhood experiences of work please send a short narrative (under 1,000 words) to ACHA ([email protected]). Please keep these guidelines in mind: approach it however you like; write as little or as much as you like, in whatever form you like; try to put yourself back into your frame of mind as a child; use 18 years old as a rough cut-off age, and think about harm. All narratives that are published on the ACHA website will be anonymised.
Thank you in advance!
Dr. James Sumberg
