When I had a cup of coffee it was 4 in the morning. No sun
rays had peed out from the clouds yet. The roads were calm and the night had
not faded away. But there was this young mother of a 2 year old girl child trying
to make herself and the baby comfortable admits the pile of stones that were
stocked in front of a construction site. The building next to our home happened
to be that place. That evening I walked up to the place where the construction
was going on and enquired her whereabouts. Those workers had come from different places of India as daily wages. The next day in the afternoon she and
some workers came to my house and asked for water. As I gave them a bottle to
drink, she smiled and told that her name was Salim. She seemed to be in her early 20's.
Many like Salim are burdened of parenting a child at a very
young age. These children suffer from malnutrition. They never get the opportunity
to go to school as their parents ( In most cases single mothers) leave their home
towns and travel distant places for a living. They don’t find a permanent
resting place of their own, instead build beautiful luxury homes for others all
through their life.
The worst affected are these toddlers. They are born on the
streets and live life like a vagabond with a high risk percentage of becoming
into a notorious criminal or fall prey to poverty and hunger. These little victims
of bad destiny, for no fault of theirs except for being born into a poor
undesired, marginalised society, suffer without proper shelter, food, clothing,
education and a decent upbringing. For a crime they are not part off, these children
are exposed to pollution, all kinds of diseases, sexual harassment (Which is common
in our country now a days), torture (In case of child labour which is also a
major concern in this country), unclean drinking water and many other threats.
In these, some of which like sexual harassment and child labour, continue for generations
where a select community of people are underlined and branded that they are
born to undergo these kinds of inhumane brutalities.
Are we all not born with the same blood as those innocent
infants are? Is it not our responsibility to bring a change in the lives of our
fellow brothers and sisters?
Help a child in need and enjoy the smile on its face. There
are many not even able to find a daily wages job. Their life ends in their small
unapproachable village where only poverty laughs loud in those lands. Touch one
child’s life and inspire a million. You can do so by contributing just Rs.500/-
per month.
