‘Blood, Sweat & T-shirts’ - Stacey Dooley, BBC3

Stacey was 20 when she went to India. She was ‘totally blown away’. She was out of the loop. When she came back she raised money for the kids in the factory where they made the programme. She’s raised thousands - and went on national TV (“I was on with Paxman!”).

“If you don’t know you can’t do anything or make decisions”

She says there are different levels of child labour. She made her own documentary - “Stacey Dooley Investigates”. She made something that she designed to appeal to young people. She went to Cambodia in January and made a programme on child prostitution.

She was trained for hostile environments and went to Congo to make a programme about child soldiers and militias. She says you need to “learn bits about other people and realise how lucky we are. That sounds a bit Miss World but you know what I mean.”

She was in Ivory Coast and they built a school and she’d like to do more.
