Dear I*earners,
If you ask any adult what the most exciting, fun, playful, troubleless, happy time of their life they for sure will say their childhood. So is it fair that only some of us gets to enjoy our childhood? no!!!!
Child labour has become a major humanity crisis in these parts of the globe. The question I have for the cruel people who employ children for work is HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN YOUR CHILDHOOD? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT YOU USED TO RUN AROUND LIKE CRAZY NOT BOTHERED ABOUT YOUR SURROUNDINGS?
I find it disgusting to know that we can take the word child and the word labour and put them together to make a meaningful sentence. The word labour should not be anywhere near the word child. The sad thing about this issue is that we can easily overcome it but nobody does.
It's very simple, if you see a child put to work immediately call the police or the relevant authorities. Problem solved. The problem is that nobody truly cares enough to do at least this. It's time for a change. The little soft voices of these children must be amplified through our voices to make a bigger sound. It really gets on my nerve to see these innocent children put to work.
They should be able to enjoy life in their childhood & work when they are adults. Half the time these children don't get enough food, medical attention and clothes. But most of all they get 0% education.0% love & affection, 0% care and 100% bad words, cuts, bruises and mental wounds. Let's stop it now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May the triple gem bless you.
