" Hi! my name is Brendan, I am 13 and I am from Dublin. Here in Ireland, we usually work before or after school to get some money. Last year, my job was to do the gardening in my street for people one or two times a week, or sometimes to walk the dogs. I also looked after small children after school. This year, I do my round of papers three days per week to get pocket money. I am happy because the job is not as hard as you imagine, and the money is my money: I can buy what I want, for me or my parents, my family".

Brendan, the letter-boy.
