Jack’s alarm clock goes off at 7:30 as another school day begins in the UK.

Downstairs, his mum is cooking him a delicious breakfast and his dad is waiting to drive him to school.

Like many teenagers, he has a busy social life and lots of friends. His parents give him plenty of pocket money and apart from his schoolwork he has no other responsibilities. He’s outgoing and hardworking and wants to be a lawyer like his dad when he grows up. Not everyone is as lucky as Jack, though.

Jamal gets up as the sun is rising and walks to the diamond mine. The summer sun rises early

to eat his first meal of the day. Jamal’s job is very dangerous and he doesn’t get paid a lot. The

money he makes, helps to buy food for his family. He’s hardworking and works long hours every day of the week and only goes home when night is

falling. Jamal’s a clever boy, but he can’t go to school so his father is teaching him to read. When Jamal sleeps at night, he dreams of becoming a teacher or

a doctor. But his life is only going to get harder not easier as he grows up.
