Working children


The most common sight in the streets of our country is a child working in a shop. They are selling flowers, chocolates and many other things. Some are working in tempo or bus. They are collecting money from the passengers. But it is the age not to earn, but to learn. In most places in the city you can hear their voice asking for passengers "Ek nombor". They have been taught only one number that is necessary for their survival. They are taking a grave risk. An accident can happen at any time.

We are only talking or writing, but doing nothing for these hapless children.
