The life that we can’t even predict

This blog is dedicated to my parents. I have the best parents in this world; I love my parents a lot. If I will succeed in life then the credit will go to my parents for understanding me up to such an extent. God gave me the biggest gift which is enough to pray and believe in the him.          
          Did you ever think about those who don’t have this gift (Parents)? In this blog, I am going to write about Orphans. There are 16.2mn orphans in the world today. Since childhood, I had sympathy towards them; still when I see them I feel restless.
          I want to share one experience where I got an opportunity to interact with them. Because of they had no parents; they were compelled to work under Mr X. We will try to understand the situation clearly by a video. It may entertain you but it was mind boggling moment for me.

This video is taken by me in train.
Please click on link.

Once I was travelling in the train:
Scene 1- One small girl and one boy came to our birth and started singing and dancing.
Scene 2- All were enjoying their performance but I felt sympathy towards them.
Scene 3- One person was continually demanding songs.
Scene 4- After completing their performance, I gave some biscuit to them.

          I started talking to them and came to know that they were doing this all stuff under one head girl named Gudiya. Gudiya was controlling 13 other children like them. You will be shocked to know that they provided only 3 Rs/- per day & the head girl was provide only 5 Rs/- per day for doing all this stuff. They were continuously answering my questions because I was giving one biscuit for every answer they gave. They were so hungry. They told me that Gudiya have to report Mr. X (They don’t know about that person who is behind the curtain and getting done this all stuff). Later I came to know they are sibling. Their parents died last year.
          One question arises in my mind- “Why they are doing this all? Do you think they would have done the same if their parents were still alive? I believe- No, they won’t.” They have lost one of the basic, important and precious gifts of God. Because of that they will have to suffer throughout their life. They will have to do lots of struggle to be educated and they will not get proper guidance-“What is right and what is wrong?” You can sense the pain that they feel alone in this dangerous world.

Please Just click on this link. After seeing this video you can sense the pain of them.

Basic problems what they have to face:
  1. They don’t get proper education. Being an illiterate, it’s tough to survive in this knowledge management era.
  2. Female child have to face one biggest problem. Orphan girls are often sexually exploited by unknown person and even by their relatives.
  3. They are compelled to do work for their basic needs. Child labour is one such social issue which arises also because they don’t even get food to eat.
  4. They lose all memorable and magical moment which they could feel with their parents.
  5. They don’t get proper advice and support. Being a small child they are mislead by evil’s mind.
         If we compare India and America we get to know that India has an orphan crisis. India has about three times the American population living in one third of the space. It creates intense poverty, famine, drought, AIDS and other diseases. In such conditions, it is no surprise that many parents die. Some parents are compelled to leave their children on the street due to poverty.

Facts:

  1.  Nearly 144 million children across the world are orphans.
  2.  Every 2 seconds, another orphan dies due to malnutrition.
  3.  6,000 children are orphaned by AIDS everyday, which means a newly orphaned child every 14 seconds.
Many non-profit Organisations are dedicated to the rescue of orphans. Some organisation in India which are working for their welfare. Ex.- Angel Orphanage Home,Children Walking Tall,Sharing Smile Ministry,Mercy Home etc.

I want to do something about them. I am searching some charities who are taking some action for welfare of orphans. I am ready to work in project also. Please give me advice from where and from which orphanage home should I approach.

I will wait for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you!
