An 11-year-old boy in Ghana describes his work carrying fish, goods, and produce for shopkeepers to Stephen Ahorlu from Friends of the Nation. He said that lifting heavy loads was a challenge and that he often experienced neck pain. On some days, he works more than eight hours but is paid only 7 cedis (US$1.21). He said that some clients delayed paying him, and that others refused to pay him at all.
