Last few months I have been busy, trying to work on something new. Worked for an NGO, which caters for the street children. It was a good experience, learnt a lot about them. Felt bad for the children as some of the kids are so eager to educate themselves, but are denied by their parents and circumstances. The younger kids are at the mercy of their parents and teachers in charge, and can hardly voice their opinion. They are used by their parents to earn money and forced to work. When in NGO they are bound by too many restrictions as they are too many in number for the few salaried staff to handle.
Few of them are talented, but with nobody to guide them they will soon be lost in the crowd. But the kids love to read, write and solve picture puzzles. Most don't prefer going to schools as they are treated badly they say.
