'I don't want to starve to death'

World Day against Child Labour is being celebrated throughout the world today, including Pakistan, in order to save young children from the harsh pains of labour and pave their way to schools so they can obtain an education and go on to become productive citizens in society.
The World Day against Child Labour is usually marked with seminars, walks, conferences and other events organised by different social organisations and attended by experts who give lectures on conditions that are produced as a result of child labour.
Globally, millions of children are forced to work due to impoverished conditions at home. These children are mostly aged between five and 15 years. Due to poverty, they are deprived of a decent education and adequate diet.

It brings tears to my eyes remembering the little boys in Sunday markets carrying more weight then themselves and Aunties arguing with them for money they charge, would any of us let our children do that ???? The domestic helpers as young as 7/8 looking after babies and children older then them ... I wish I could help each and every one of them... Every little helpss, let's start from our own homes, streets, neighbourhood ... Just do anything to help them get education and earn decent wages once they are old enough .. at the same these kids have self respect and honour that they do look after there families even if they don't have any choice ..

@SaeedS: "Why the world responsible for these children...we are their parents"
Because the World did it to them. The World took their parents, burnt and buried them in the ground.
Where is your heart?
This kid is not begging...he is working for a living. The World took not only his family and home but also his childhood and his innocence.
