Aastha

Hi kids,
We had a serious topic this week and it received a good response. It is clear that you all are sensitive to the issue of children being deprived of their basic rights to education, play and childhood. Be it the United Nations or the Indian Constitution, the interests and rights of children have been held uppermost. The mark of civilised existence is the condition of children in a society. Any place or country, where children do not get enough to eat, lack shelter, health and educational facilities, as well as the opportunity to play, can be said not to have a future.
It is important, therefore, for young people, in particular, to be concerned about the less fortunate among them. Your own future is going to be diminished, if others are growing up without the education and abilities to be contributing adults.
Next week, write in about your favourite person. Send their photographs or portraits made by you.
See ya, next week.
