The orphans around us

in esteem •  7 years ago 

Dear steemian fellow

Childhood is a quality time and can not be repeated again. In this time, we usually play, laugh, run, sing and do other things with friends without the burden of life. But not so with some kids around us. They can not enjoy their beautiful childhood. They must work to help the family economy. Work to stay in school and meet the necessities of life. Where are his parents? Parents who are supposed to take full responsibility for them. Parents are obliged to meet their needs, parents who should educate them and give love and become a place to complain and to tell their story. This is one of the portraits of life around us that we may be less sensitive and never think about that.

Masa kecil atau masa anak-anak adalah masa yang indah dan tidak bisa diulang kembali. Di masa ini biasanya kita bermain, tertawa, berlari, bernyanyi dan melakukan hal lainnya dengan teman-teman sepermainan tanpa ada beban hidup. Tapi tidak demikian dengan sebahagian anak-anak disekitar kita. Mereka tidak bisa menikmati masa kecilnya yang indah. Mereka harus bekerja untuk membantu ekonomi keluarga. Bekerja agar tetap bisa sekolah dan memenuhi kebutuhan hidup. Kemanakah orang tuanya? Orang tua yang seharusnya bertanggung jawab penuh atas mereka. Orang tua yang berkewajiban memenuhi kebutuhan mereka, orang tua yang seharusnya mendidik mereka dan memberikan kasih sayang dan menjadi tempat mengadu dan bermanja. Inilah salah satu potret kehidupan disekitar kita yang mungkin kita kurang peka dan peduli selama ini.

These children work because they are poor. The economic crush forced them to leave their playing time. The father who was supposed to be the backbone of the family and the breadwinner had died. Unfortunately, the father does not leave enough inheritance for their needs. It is only the mother who fights for herself to earn a living and take care of her children. These orphans work for extra money to help their mother. In the morning they go to school and in the afternoon they work until the sun set.

Anak-anak ini bekerja karena terpaksa. Himpitan ekonomi memaksa mereka untuk rela meninggalkan waktu bermainnya. Ayah yang seharusnya menjadi tulang punggung keluarga dan pencari nafkah telah meninggal. Malangnya, sang ayah tidak meninggalkan warisan cukup untuk kebutuhan mereka. Hanyalah ibu yang berjuang sendiri untuk mencari nafkah dan mengurus anak-anaknya. Anak-anak yatim ini bekerja mencari uang tambahan untuk membantu ibunya. Dipagi hari mereka sekolah dan siang harinya mereka bekerja sampai sore.

Although the government through child protection legislation strictly prohibits employing minors. Even threatening with criminal law. But these children still begged to be accepted to work. They are working to keep eating and school. Here are some portraits of life around us. Where is our conscience? Are our feelings insensitive anymore? Let's open our eyes and hearts. They are the next generation of nation that should take education to advance this nation later. It is the time for us to help these orphan and poor children. They are our brothers and our responsibilities together.

Walaupun pemerintah melalui undang-undang perlindungan anak melarang keras mempekerjakan anak dibawah umur. Bahkan mengancam dengan undang-undang pidana. Tetapi anak-anak ini tetap memohon agar diterima bekerja. Mereka mau tak mau harus bekerja agar tetap bisa makan dan sekolah. Inilah sebagian potret kehidupan disekitar kita. Kemanakah hati nurani kita? Apakah perasaan kita tidak peka lagi? Mari kita buka mata dan hati kita. Mereka adalah generasi penerus bangsa yang seharusnya menempuh pendidikan untuk memajukan bangsa ini nantinya. Sudah saatnya kita membantu anak-anak yatim dan miskin ini. Mereka adalah saudara kita dan tanggung jawab kita bersama.
