Street children
Dhaka is now consuming the silent tears of poor children who are forced to undertake various gruelling tasks at their very early age, just to ensure the next meal for them and their family. Children are now being engaged in different risky jobs which often jeopardize their lives. It's a common scene in the streets that children are working as helpers in tempos and buses, and peddlers of flowers and water. They are found working in garages and chemical shops and also as domestic aid. Too often they face accidents as these are the tasks for which they are just not fit , both physically and mentally. These children lose all of their spirit and enthusiasm in their childhood and due to their grumpy fate they are prone to be at a very high risk in terms of health and security. The most shocking thing is that the rate of child labour is increasing day by day and by the time those children will be adult, they cannot contribute to themselves and the family just because they will have already lost their future in their childhood.
Let's pause for a moment and just recall our childhood and put our thoughts together for a while that if we had to face such disasters in our childhood, would it be that easy to endure for us? We all just need a sympathetic feeling for our children to make a better world for them where they wouldn't need to do anything for which they are not meant to be.
Let's not forget that those children have also been created by God.
