*WATCH NEXT:* India's Forgotten Majority - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oL-FrKWYv8yyZo0.html

Arvind is a natural leader, you can see it in the class room. He is supportive, attentive, and brave. So long as he makes it to the other side, he will change peoples lives.

Reporters that don’t just report, but actually are doing something about the injustice they are witnessing. Massive respect for them.

Arvind is the purest soul I have ever seen, he looked happy even at the brick factory, but when he was in the classroom he looked so much happier. When he said he wanted to be a teacher and inspired all the children to keep coming to school I couldn't help but cry

If only we where as passionate about supporting people as much as we are passionate about supporting athletes & celebrities… this documentary was amazing!!!!

It’s heartbreaking to think that a large bag of rice is what makes or breaks these children’s ability to obtain an education. Crushing honestly.

Such a rough life. When the mother is asked if she went to school she replied, "No. Because we are uneducated, we are nothing." That hits hard. It's sad that on the opposite side of this all we see fully grown adults complaining about such frivolous things, oblivious to how much pain and suffering goes into how well off they've got it. Very heavy documentary.

Arvind making everyone say that affirmation at the end almost made me cry. Thank you Vice for the amazing reporting you do on such underrated issues and I wish all these kids luck in changing the world for the better.

How this boy still manages to smile and look so full of life despite his sad world is beyond me

The man who walks the slums and finds working children and then pays what they’d normally get paid in a month in rice is literally doing God’s work!! Is there a way we can support his cause?!?! I’d love to be able to help!!

I don't think I've ever cried at a VICE News video, but I came close with this one. Seeing how all the formerly (basically enslaved) children rejoiced at getting an education truly made my heart warm. My heart goes out to Arvind, and all the other Nepali children who have been forced into this disturbing lifestyle by their parents. May they all have access to education.

Banning child labor places focus on the symptom rather than the problem, which is poverty. The children have to work in order to survive, unfortunately. Other measures need to be taken with welfare, social support, etc. like what is being done by this amazing charity. Fantastic work!

Lil bro workin 7 days a week and he ain even in middle school yet. But you can still see the childhood innocent happiness in him. I hope he never loses that. Good luck arvind you got this my boy

5:14 seeing the 6y old working on bricks brought be to tears. it's crazy how we take things like food, clean water and education for granted to the point where we forget that people like this exist, people who are at the very bottom of society, alive.. and that's it. I wish I can do more to help than just make a comment.. whenever something bad happens to you in life, no matter how awful or heartbreaking it may be, remember that your feeling are valid and you don't necessarily deserve any of that, but also remember that it could've been worse, much much worse. and appreciate your life, and the privileges you have.

What a powerful and emotional documentary. The begging of it seemed bleak, but to see the amazing work that Our Sansar does is incredibly uplifting. They really have the potential to change the course of the lives of these children..

This just brought me to tears for so long in between the video . The way Vice works making a change is just spectacular . I jus was going through random content scrolling through and came to this not knowing you have uncovered this horror of my own country . I am from the capital watching this and finding myself so incompetent , looser , lazy , jus filled with shi*ty excuse living the pathetic life even at early 20's and here are these children sacrificing their future for such low wages for their brutal contribution . This will be pong if i started writing all what's in my heart so i will jus conclude by saying God bless you the girl , cameraman and whole team of Vice . Jus because of guys coming out of blue I hope some impact and change in course of how things were running has happened . And their life has changed for good . Our country leaders and whole government is jus shameful . The way you eat in Arvinds house seeing that family smiling with hope of positivity or with nothing except for treating guest in greatest regard amid their struggle was just so moving .

I'm worried about the safety of those charity workers. even if they don't have a chance of prosecuting anyone, and it doesn't sound like they do, they are poaching workers from those factories and increasing their production costs. I hope VICE stays in touch with these people for future updates. it seems very likely to me that there will be pushback.

And some people will still complain how bad life in US is.

I just cant hold back my tears all throughout the video since my childhood was absolutely traumatic and I had somewhat similar experience. I have to work afterschool when I was young cause I grew up without my parents. Fought so hard to finish my education and now I`m still working so hard around 12 hours everyday but it pays off since the salary is more than enough even if I splurge on things that are unnecessary. Thank you Vice for reminding everyone that regardless of what we are going through there are a lot of people that are experiencing things much worse than our current experience which makes us appreciate life even more cause we tend to get agitated even in minor inconveniences. I will be going back to school again soon to further my education and will eventually help these kind of movement to help eradicate these kinds of practices and to really help social mobility.

Respect to the reporter for getting so involved with this case 👏 🙌 unlike other who just film 🎥 🎞

THOSE LAST FEW MINUTES HAD ME TEARS .IT WAS SO EMOTIONAL. ARVIND IS SO GOOD MAY GOD BLESS THEM AND MAKE THEM GOOD PERSONS.

This story brings tears to me. It has a happy ending though. This reporter is amazing for digging out the real story and also making sure to be a part of the solution. Salute to her and the people helping the small kids and their families.

I’m watching this and have tears in my eyes. I never truly realized how ungrateful I’ve been most of my life and open up ours eyes and appreciate everything we have now because these kids have nothing and are happy while we have everything and complain. Thank you vice for sharing this 🥲

Some people have it harder than others. We should always appreciate this and meditate on our own luck when we feel like life has done hard by us. Chances are it's nothing when compared to stories like this. My first job was at around 14. Cutting wood in the forest, knee deep in snow with an old Soviet chainsaw called _'Friendship'_ which was almost as big as me. Proper kolhoz (farmer collective) name. Then I came to the west and kids my age were being driven everywhere, bought computer games and toys and seen on hand and foot by their parents. This was when I realised something. Just how correct William Blake was... _'Some are born to sweet delight and some are born to endless night'._ Always be grateful you were born to sweet delight. Because chances are, you will need to remind yourself how lucky you are in order to stay grounded in life.

Thank you to Sahar Zand and her crew for spreading awareness and the charity for giving these kids and their families a chance at life and breaking the cycle.

Tough life compared to most, but in those environments - people are just trying to survive..

I'm usually not affected but this video is pulling at my heartstrings. Seeing children subjected to such a tough reality and not able to maximize their potential is profoundly sad. I wish to be able to help people in these situations one day. I wish all of the kids the best of luck. Arvind has a special light and I know he will overcome and do well in the future.

Heartbreaking I'd give that boy $15 a week just to go to school until he he turns 21 just to know hes ok

Reading some comments on here that's like "it ain't a big deal" and "I was a child worker myself, it's cool" kinda even more heartbreaking than the video itself :/ People from all around the world watching this and not grasping that's not how things should be, that's *it's a norm* for kids to go to school not to work so their family could afford food for said kids.

The denial of that brick factory owner is unbelievable he's corrupt to the core, thanks to good NGO's like our sansar there's hope for these poor children.

One of the most emotional, heart breaking but also optimistic videos I’ve ever seen here

Somewhat unrelated. The fact that countries like Nepal and especially India still operate on a caste system in the 21st century is borderline insane. And nobody seems to care. I even remember an article from the US where a startup in California wouldn't hire people from certain castes and had no problem admitting it. Would love to see Vice do a video exploring classism and caste system in India and how it effects Indians worldwide.

through the hardships he can still smile despite all that stuff hes been thru. i hope nothing but the best towards that kid.

Poor kids, they deserve to be kids.

Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

Damn robbing a kid of their childhood is about the worst thing you can do...

The ending has me literally bawling - please keep us updated on these children and, how they do during this new year ; especially sweet arvind - he truly is a *SPECIAL* child 🥹💙

The way that family smiled when she ate the food. That is a true empathetic reporter! Kudos to her! She is so respectful to them! This documentary was heartbreaking 💔

I hope they are still in school right now. We would love to see a follow-up or even a mini series of this school.

shame on corrupt politicians that stole the life of the most vulnerable while they are living large and InCharge of the country. it is specially really hard to watch as a Nepalese.

Hats off to journalist

I'm in tears 😭! Thank you for dignifying those children's lives!

I cried watching this and wanted to thank you for everything you do. I couldn't believe seeing kids doing jobs at such a young age.. it totally broke me to see families being forced to send the kids to work... Honestly, thank you for what you have done.

Such a heart felt documentary, great job to the journalist and charity

That Arvind has "natural leader" just radiating from him! Thank you, Our Sansar. Your work has brought a tear to my eye today. What wonderful work you're doing.

That politician owning the brick factory has the audacity to say that the video showing child workers in his factory is fake. These type of blood sucking people are the worst.

I really hope there is another video on this coming soon

please do an update about this in a year. i want to see how they are doing.

Kids should get a chance to be kids. Children should get to experience life and childhood without having the weight of the world bear down. They all seem so happy at the end. Wishing them much success and minimized trauma

THIS is the most inspirational thing I have ever watched. I have always wanted to be in the special spot she was to get to see first hand that was powerful! Great Great work u guys I absolutely love it! ~ZJAK

This makes my heart so happy! Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so much to help these amazing kids!

Only made it through a few minutes of this 😓 I can not handle seeing children suffer like this !

Just think of what would happen if someone came in and gave them $100 dollars? A thousand?! Holy Moly! This video should serve as an example of being thankful of what we have while striving to do better continuously for all.

PLEASE if you can, make an update video in another year or two. i'd love to follow the journey of these kids!

I have a 5 years old daughter, I still brush her teeth, feed her and do everything else in between for her, it breaks my heart to any kid suffering. Kids should not suffer due to the decisions their parents made.

All the kids' faces should be blurred to prevent them being identified & punished by their bosses.

The smiles on those childrens faces warmed my heart!. Sometimes when I think there is no hope for this World , I see a story like this and it gives me a little joy and hope as well!.

Good job reporting! These kind of stories are needed. I pray that these children continue going to school.

Félicitation,,, love the ending. Thank you great repporting.

I had tears in my eyes , and the end of show I had smile on my face I’m so happy they are still good people who cares !

The boy has a great smile despite hardships! He is amazing. I wish him all the best.

I have never cried this much over a documentary. The lives of those chilren is very miserable yet they filled with smiles. Let people who can help. Lets help others and change the world where we can

Incredibly humbling and touching video. Thank you for this amazing work and all those smiles.

this is the type of journalism i know vice for! amazing coverage.

My platoon medic said that there is still MUCH more that vice isn't aware of when I showed him this documentary. He is from Nepal and said this is only the surface... Thanks for. Bringing this to light Vice.

We'll need an update on this story.

this genuently made me tear up, much respect for them, i hope they succeed in the future

I really hope the parents don’t send them back to work.

People in those foundations are angels.

This video bought me to tears, it's so beautiful the work that this charity organisation does to rescue children from work and provide them an education. Wishing them and all the children they save wonderful luck and beautiful futures ❤

Excellent reporting on this one vice!

This is the first vice video where I see they did something to help instead of just reporting

The last part when they pledged to never go back to the brick factory made me tear up. Thanks for taking care or them sansar. I hope they eventually fulfill their dreams.

what an emotional decumentry! Thank you for preparing this, God bless you 🤲🏽

The excitement of the kids in the van going to get a new chance in life, happiness being handed a simple bar of soap, and their amazement at being in a classroom. Absolutely priceless. Thank you for this story and for changing those lives.

Damn, that’s sad. At least it’s good to see the charity helping out these children/families.

@ViceMagazine, I’m so pleased to see that you’ve *finally* reported on this heinous, inhumane issue - but also hope and suggest you will, please, report on the *continuous generations* of *ENSLAVED families* of brick makers *in India.* Because the men don’t give a damn and *choose to perpetuate the bloody misery by continuing to impregnate their wives, the cycle never ends* as the children are forced to work at brick making from as early as the age of five to pay off bogus ‘debts’ to the bossman (‘Massa!’) (the same age I was also forced to begin working, in my case it was the construction industry). *Please consider it. They need exposure and assistance!* *Thank you* from a very long-time reader and screener.🌞

Thank you Vice for putting this out. This is why I subscribed.

She did an amazing work sharing the light on such sad situation , and some of us complain about our lives🦋🎈

Very touching journalism, good work vice news

It makes me happy to see that people care about the children and the children looks so happy now.

Excellent piece… well told as always 👏🏻

This was an amazing documentary, really underrated. Thank you VICE

Fenomenal job!!! Thank you!

When I woke up this morning, I was tired and angry at capitalism for the work I need to do. After seeing children as young as five working in these horrific conditions, I realized how fortunate I am and how I need to use my privilege to help others who literally have nothing🙏🏼

arvind poked my heart :) what beautiful children they are! bless them all

Those kids smiles…best thing I’ve ever seen 🙌🏾🙏🏾

My dad used to do this type of work in Colombia he built many houses by laying brick and mixing cement by hand since he was 5 years old

Amazing, beautiful compassionate reporting.

This was heartbreaking, yet inspiring. I have mixed emotions.

People like that charity guy and those children, are gonna help change the world

This is so sad..makes my blood boil. They're such pretty people & they deserve better. I wish I could save all of the poor people in the world.

Wow such beautiful children! Their young minds are so ready to be molded, you can just see the joy in their eyes when they all list what they want to become. Can't wait to see how bright their futures become 💕

Fantastic video - thank you very much

This video is so good to see, please do more to bring more awareness to Nepal and keep funding for these families to get them educated.

Now do a story on the Cobalt Mines

This was sad but truly heart warming in the end 🙏🏽

I guess its one thing to see kids working at the family business, and another to have super young children grinding for wages at a larger organization

A lot of us in America take having a childhood for granted.

These are the bravest children. But, working under age is better than dying of hunger. This is the real world.
