Hi you all!
I am Elijah and tomorrow morning my laboural day in the coal mine starts. 🙄
I am so tired 🥱 and tomorrow my day won’t help with it at all.

@CDickens_1870 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Finally I am able to try reading a book, I am extremely grateful for your kindness sir Charles Dickens

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

This is me and other miners after some years of working, we still need to, but we will continue fighting against children exploitation.
We need children to have a worthy childhood!!

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@elisabethgaske1 @MillicentFawctt I agree, this is one of the best ideas that have been carried out until now.
I am so glad that with the installation of traffic lights children can walk at night in a safer way

@CDickens_1870 @Frankly59700855 I do follow you, waiting for that raffle 🤗
I hope it’s me who win one of those books, it would be so exciting to read them…

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@Frankly59700855 @CDickens_1870 Sadly, anything in this life is free, we must work for it… 😓

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@fIoorence_ @victoriaqueen_0 thanks!
Someone realizes what is really happening, we need REAL modernity…

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@luddjones Maybe you don’t know it but those machines have to be repaired and as I am a small child I am often asked to fix them, so you are putting me and other children in danger

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@_faradaymichael @MillicentFawctt Of course I don’t know about physics but that doesn’t mean I am not intelligent.
I can see that going to school doesn’t make intelligence.

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@william_wforc @anniebesant_ I know it too, I am managing to keep up living just with my mother.
My deepest condolences 😓

[Franklyn⚒⛓ @Frankly59700855]

I demand an increase salary pleasee

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@CDickens_1870 Sounds really funny! It is for sure a great book.
Definitely reading it some day!

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@minerrboyy I feel you, I would absolutely love to go there instead of working every single day 🥱

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@_faradaymichael What is even that? 🤨

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@fIoorence_ I completely agree with you!!
Health is the most important thing for all of us, it should be more taken into account.
I’m glad some people still think in this way, it’s common sense!

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@CDickens_1870 It is really good!
Hopefully some day I will read it

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

In this report we can see the height and weight of other children miners, as we can see they are mostly short and thin, what means that most of them are unnourished.
Improve laboral conditions!!!

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

@MillicentFawctt At least you can assist to school
You are so lucky!

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

Being honest, my work today is not as bad as it was earlier.
Since 1842, it has been forbidden for children and women to work underground.
Nowadays, I’m only allowed to work outside, which I consider safer.
This was the first report written to negociate the conditions of miners.

[Elijah Davis @Elijah__Davis]

I am not the only one in this situation, lots of different children are working in the same conditions as me, in this article we have the example of George Bentley.
