Streets children or street urchins are familiar figures in the streets of a third world country like Bangladesh. Most of them are the abandoned children of their parents. They are rootless. These are floating children of a country. They do not know about the whereabouts of their parents, their place and date of birth. Many of them are orphans.
Generally the earn their livelihood by begging, stealing, cheating, selling flowers and doing the job of wage earners.But some times some poor parents make their children work in the streets. These streets children live in the dirty slums, on the roadside pavements without any protection against rough weather. They sleep under open the sky. They also work as garbage collectors ,porters and rickshaw deprived of education, health care and nutrition. Though they are abandoned children, they are human beings. They are the citizens of our country. They have some basics right to live, to enjoy, to survive in peace and to receive education. The government and the people in general should do something so that these helpless and homeless children can taste the sweetestness of life.
we all should show generosity towards street child. we all should keep in mind they are also mankind. they are also humans. but their life is so much miserable. they can cry all the time but they dont do that because they know that there are no known to hear their sound. no one is ready to help them. alas! once in sylhet i saw a street child i felt very sorrow .
