Childhood stolen!
There are about 4.7 million child labourers in Bangladesh and about 1.3 million are engaged in hazardous jobs. Whenever you go to a garage to get your car fixed, you will see a little boy with dirt all over his face comes to fix your car. These children don't have any childhood! For them, childhood is full of pain. Instead of playing and studying, they clean the big open garbage containers.
Thanks to the UNICEF for their project, 'Basic Education for Hard to Reach Urban Working Children (BEHTRUWC)', as it is encouraging the urban child labourers to study.
I urge all - please do not let a kid do a hazardous job, because it is illegal and inhuman!
