Article on Street children….

Many pity on them, many detest them, but there are very few who take pains to do something that can actually help them to get out of such conditions. Give a thought to this at least once and you may feel their pain. No….do not think like this. I am not telling you to sympathize and give them alms out of pity. Actually, you must not do this at all. If you want to do something for them, then, ‘pick up these street children and drop them off at a remand home or an orphanage or at an institution that takes care of such helpless children. Just think about them for a second. They can only see their daily bread by chance. They do not even have a place which they can call as their home. Many of these innocent street children fall prey to anti social activities. Thus, many of these children turn into drug-addicts.  The estimated number of street children living in Mumbai is 35,000. These children only try to lead a better life desperately. In this struggle some of these children even end up with such conditions that normal people cannot even think about.
Literally, street children would mean those children for whom the street is a home more than a family. Living without protection is a thing a well-to-do man cannot think for their own children. However, you can only know the pain of street children when you put your own child in the shoes of these street children. The homelessness leads to exploitation through child labor and prostitution. A small deed that may help them can earn you millions of small and innocent smiles. So, instead of detesting them or sympathizing with them, do something that may lit up their faces.
