Integrity of slum kids
Wahid Adnan / Driknews
Last week while I was waiting with some of my friends for the train at the airport railway station, we lost our laptop and a purse with a good amount of money in it. We were at a loss what to do. After we got on the train, a group of boys came to us with our missing bag. They told us that they noticed the bag while they were walking along the railway. They guessed that the bag was ours as they saw us leaving the place. We felt so happy and wanted to give them some money as a reward. But Ganesh, Shuzan, Mona and other boys requested us to impart them education, instead of giving them some money. They will thus learn how to read and write. They also said that they would be able to earn money once they become literate. The integrity of the boys amazed us.
