By Vikramaditya Bhatnagar, (VII), St. Joseph's Academy
Hi! I’m Vikramaditya Bhatnagar, studying in class 7 of a good school, St. Joseph’s Academy, and enjoying all the luxuries of life. But it was on Friday, when I was reading ‘The Garhwal Post’ I realized that not everyone is as fortunate.
In Today’s world almost all countries encourage cruel act known as child labour. It is the illegal employment and slavery of poor children for wages. The families send their kids to work at a very young age. They don’t have enough money – I consider that fact, but they have gone too far when they send the child to work. These poor chaps have not been able to spend their childhood like the rest of us.These unfortunate children often have to do jobs that can take their lives. You may not know it, but do you have any idea how risky the job of a rag picker is? A few days after 26/11, a few rag picker children were killed by the explosions of bombs hidden in the dustbin.These little labourers sometimes work at factories. The hazardous gases cause headaches, deaths, unconsciousness, and even blindness. The fluids can cause skin infections as serious as cancer. The list of of such dangers is endless!
I agree that the list of ways to help these young fellows is even longer. But our brain goes ‘FIZZZTT’ when it comes to ways in which we can help them.Sure, a few of us may have some ideas, but would you actually do it? You may do it, but majority of us don’t help. This includes even me a few years back.
It’s all in our hands. Only we can help them. All that is needed is one small effort, and the others would come following in our tracks. Just remember .Neil Armstrong expressed this feeling in the quotation," it is just a few small steps for a man, but it is a GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND."
