Diario Libre?s front-page photograph portrays a young roadside window cleaner, under the headline “Mucho que hacer” ? much to do. Labor Minister Milton Ray Guevara said yesterday that one of the most difficult tasks he faced was to get children off the streets and back into the classrooms. Today is the International Day Against Child Labor, and it is estimated that as many as 330,000 children form part of the work force in the Dominican Republic.
