In Reply to: Kids selling leather bracelets posted by Gunn Parker on Friday, 23. October 2009 at 22:08 Bali Time:
Just as the wood carvers near Ubud, the kite makers, quilt makers, sarong, jewelry,etc... Balinese families bring their childeren into their businesses. It's part of their culture. I am talking about those who produce the handcrafts in a cottage industry setting. Same goes for those that specialize in selling ..they get their childeren to help them sell. Sometimes it is ugly when you see how some of these kids are struggling ..their parents are struggling too. Like it or not, Bali is third world....
