We Want Action

Recently, I visited a school in a slum area but I could not believe what I saw with my naked eyes.

I saw pupils who looked hungry and some of them did not have uniforms. I decided to ask one of them why they don’t have uniforms. One kid told me that in their school they lack books, uniforms and other basic needs like clothes, food and shelter.

The major problem in our slums is food for schools, one student said. Mostly food in schools in the slums must be cooked two times per day because many pupils come from poor families.

Those pupils come to school in the morning without drinking anything or eating anything so they must have a cup of porridge everyday.

And at the lunchtime those pupils must eat food. The government can do that to help those pupils of poor families. If the government refuses to do that for the schools in the slums, most of the pupils will become street children so they can find food.

So I know that it is too hard far those pupils to learn when they are hungry. That’s why you see many children in the street. They are searching for food.

I think it would be good for the government to start projects for children who need basic needs like food, clothes and shelter. The government can help those children with anything they want.
