What do you see? Yes, a 11 years old boy Washing the dishes of a roadside hotel. ...

in hive-142013 •  4 years ago 

... I clicked this picture at noon and at this hour he was supposed to be in school, studying. He was supposed to go to school in a school uniform and come back to his mother's arm. This is the age for him to play with other children not to wash dishes for money. But see, how Poverty strikes peoples lives. After taking the picture I talked to him for a while. He said, his name is Siam and he has been working here for about six months. I asked why he was working instead of going to school, he said his father had died in a road accident a few years back. He, his mother and his younger sister are now in his family. The younger sister has been admitted to the school. So his sister's school expenses and family's expenses aren’t fulfilled by his mother's single income and so he is here to work. Though he seemed to have no complain about his life but this scenario is the failure of us, failure of the state, of the society.
We are sorry boy, we couldn’t give you the normal life you deserve.

Yes, we are sorry!! But one day it will be changed💚 good luck🍀

Hope so. And thanks buddy.❤

Such is the life for some people. I pray for the boy and his family for their well being!

Such experiences makes us considerate and show love towards fellow human beings.
You did a great job talking to him 👍!

Yes, we should be empathetic towards people and help them as much as we can.🙂

This is a global problem. problem is we have everything to fixed this problem but we are busy. In 1st world county there are so many problem like homeless people so this is reality we can't do it alone. we can do even in our country with help of our community, for example in our country Bangladesh APPICS Community can help them ✊✊

This is a common scenario of every capitalist society. There are many organisations trying to help them but that's not enough. Hope one day we can help them too. ❤

My aim is to be rich, so that I could help who are helpless like this boy. One day I'll make my dream come true.

What a nice dream! May almighty fulfill your dreams. Our society needs people like you.💚

Nowadays everyone running for their own life. child labour is one of the biggest problems of this south-east Asia. We always say so many NGO working for them but the problem is ..we are not working for them. Sometimes I saw so many people they are wasting food but small boys/girls are working for that food. We can only say that we need to help them but we are not helping because we are busy with our life !!! So many time I even can't help so many people because everyone has some limitation.... but one day we will help properly. Let's hope for the best.

We are busy yes that's a good point. And also all of us are not financially capable of helping them. Let's just hope for the best. ❤

It's really hurtful. Nothing we can just only say sorry? What can we do where authority are silence.
