CHILD LABOR...!!!!



All the children tend to have the same attitude and same stamina. But why are they treated in a different way? Why are some enjoying the life while some suffer all the miseries in life in such a small age??? Yes, we are talking about the child labor.

Think of something like working for the entire day in the hot sun lifting bricks at the age of seven or eight. Think of hitting a hammer on the iron rod at the age of nine or ten. Think of washing plates in a hotel at the age of five or six. Think of the boy begging on the road from the age of four. Think of the boy taking care of the child of a family at the age of ten or eleven. How horrible is it????

But still, we don’t think of the better well being of the kid. We never think for the ways to get him out of that work he does. Many of us think of a better life of our children but never think about someone who takes care of them in our absence. It is found that one in every six children is engaged as a child labor. It means that every sixth child is being ruined in his life. "In Africa, one child in three is at work, and in Latin America, one child in five works. In both these continents, only a tiny proportion of child workers are involved in the formal sector and the vast majority of work is for their families, in homes, in the fields or on the streets." -- Unicef’s 1997 State of the World’s Children Report.

Is this what is expected from us??? Is this what is to be continued??? I asked ….my answer is a big NO. help a child in his life and you can see our country developing by itself. Help child enjoy the life not with the hammer but with bat, not with brick but with a book, not with the miseries but with the happiness. DO IT NOW AND FEEL THE HAPPINESS. ALL DA VERY BEST.
