We cannot call today’s society advanced. While it might seem like a blanket statement that encompasses all the good that society has achieved, it means little. I, Satish, say this because there still those who believe in employing children for odd or menial jobs. It comes as a sad shock because those that still support it, hold respectable positions in society and hypocritically preach about the emancipation of minors. What is most needed at this juncture is an education, not just that starts from school but that continues to emphasize that children are not meant to slog and earn for their basic needs and necessities.

Have we truly failed our children, the very generation we strived to do our best and tried to achieve for? It’s an uncomfortable thought, but one that requires necessary introspection, for these children, exploited, have a difficult time being rehabilitated and all they are looking for is an equal opportunity to succeed in life and provide for their families and for that will need to go to school, governments need to be more involved in taking a step forward for these children and they will require your charity.

They will be unable to do that if their chances are shackled by poverty and exploitation. Once again, I urge you to take a look in the mirror and consider whether it is right, whether it fair, whether we have done the right thing for in my eyes, we have failed them.
