World Girl Child Day
Congratulations for the two wonderful photographs (Oct:1) depicting our girl child. The pictures effectively say it all! However for a poor underdeveloped country, saddled with high level of corruption, what promises can we make for our future citizens? Today employment opportunities are scarce and except for the miserable and hungry girl child, what else can we show to the world? Luckily, the two girls in the photographs are busy in productive work; and not living in sadness and suffering.
The girl is making tea; appears clean, better dressed and busy; while the other girl is gaining experience in a useful trade. They represent the few lucky ones! The vast majority of our young girls live with squalor, want and misery as their daily companion.
The mess has to be cleared, before we can provide food, education and recreation for our girl child to grow normally. It is a shame on our rich and so-called leaders of society: for it seems the more they get, the more they want!
