CHILD LABOUR……..stolen childhood

Does this picture WRENCH your heart??

Does this picture invoke a feeling of REVULSION??

YES…….As we sit here today in comfort she does not even find time to think of comforts……

40% of children below 14 are working laboriously to earn a basic living….

Employed in all sorts of strenuous & illegal activities

pictures speak for themselves…..

Working on and on and on…….

And still food,clothing,shelter are distant dreams….

Working like mules to earn meager amounts of money

Carrying a load too heavy for their fragile shoulders…….& doomed to go on like this forever….

VISION !!

Do you know that the eminent people like APJ ABDUL KALAM,DHIRUBHAI AMBANI etc were born in frugal conditions & are here today only because they were given a CHANCE…These kids also have vision in their eyes to become engineers, doctors &other professionals but the thing which they lack is…

MOTIVATION !!

Born from ASHES…..

EDUCATION: THE RIGHT RESPONSE TO CHILD LABOUR

Along with Better living conditions and proper shelter..

And above all FOOD…. To help them grow into healthy adults

Given a chance,they can blossom into …..

And many more….

Its time to wake up to the future of these children before they are lost into the oblivion of inhuman work, before their dark future engulfs them completely and before our country is doomed like the future of our future leaders……

Children are the future of the country but only when they have a FUTURE……

THANK YOUTHANK YOU
