Hi Ola,

I thought I remembered an older piece and here it is:

http://www1.american.edu/ted/chocolate-slave.htm

And here is a newer piece:

http://globalmarch.org/images/CHILD-LABOUR-IN-COCOA-FARMING-IN-COTE-D'IVOIRE.pdf

I also seemed to remember a campaign I saw on this topic - maybe they'd be useful to talk to:

http://www.antislavery.org/english/campaigns/cocoa_traders/

Finally, and maybe somewhat strangely, the U.S. Dept of Labor has an initiative on just this subject:

http://www.dol.gov/ilab/issues/child-labor/cocoa/

Hope that's helpful. What an important topic.

Best of luck,

Karla

Thanks for your help :) @Karla Cunningham
