Child Labor - Afghani child labor used to tilt bricks up on their side after 2 days of drying at GT Brick located in Karkhla, Pakistan. The children, aged 4-6, perform this labor because they are light weight and do not deform this still somewhat soft bricks. The children come to Pakistan as refugees with their families due to civil war and famine in Afghanistan.
