Child labour

A couple of days ago, on my way back home I met a ten-year-old kid who works as a cobbler. His name is Rabi Das. I asked him why he chose this occupation at this age. I came to know that poverty had compelled him to do so. His father has died and so his mother and he has to work hard to support the family. The affluent people of the society should come forward and extend their helping hands for these destitute kids.
