An endless struggle
On the way to my shop I very often see many children engaged in laborious jobs. Most of them are between 10 and 15 years of age. They want to study but can't because of financial problems. Apparently, poverty prevents education or better life. We all know that instead of being on the streets they should be in school. Their means of livelihood is in itself an irony. It is a sad commentary on those of us who shout at the top of our voice for the rights of the unlucky children. It makes us think of the realities of our society which force these unlucky children to wage an endless struggle against all odds to keep their heads above water.
Let us join hands to make a better life for these unlucky children.
