Let’s start this one with a little world of imagination. Imagine you are walking down a street with your most favourite candy that you’ve been awaiting to eat since many days and just as you are about to unwrap it and stick it into the mouth, you see a small beggar’s child staring at your candy helplessly. Without a second thought you hand it over to that child and the silent smile on his face expressed everything. No wonder that child would have been very happy with that tiny feast.
To live, we fall into all sorts of businesses, just to achieve ‘pleasure’. There is one kind of pleasure which we do for enjoyment like listening music, shopping (particularly when on-sale), watching favourite movies, hanging out with friends, eating in our all-time-fav place, etc. and a lot of such other stuff. And there is other kind of pleasure which gives a smile of relief on our face, example, like the one you just read above! Recall the recent tragedy at Jammu and Kashmir. Multiple of thousands of citizens there, lost everything and got trapped in between the aghast. When they were being rescued, no wonder that would have been their happiest day and would have showered the blessings on the rescuers, but even more than that, the life saviors would have felt a peace of eternal bliss by helping them!
Read out this story to get me straight to the point.
It’s a story about some youngsters pursuing the second year of an engineering college. Like any common collegian, it was their usual random day, with exams on head and to put aside the stress, they decided to stroll out for a power-feed of snacks. At their regular stall, a small boy aged roughly around 8 served their order. By mistake, he spilled the tea on one of the friends’. The owner roared at the poor kid, but somehow they managed to make a peace. After they moved back to their rooms, everyone’s minds were back to the study but one mind was still stuck in that kid’s helpless life. He couldn’t help himself, stop feeling the overwhelmed sympathy that had just bred inside him. He thought, this dynamic youthfulness and higher education is of no use if it is not spent on the poor beings. He expressed his idea to all of his friends and there was no reason of denying it. With a motto of educating as many child-labours, as well as small underage children who could not afford to go in schools and study, they made their first step of nobility by admitting that small boy (that had served them in the stall) in the school. Of course, it was a hard task, convincing his parents, finding the sponsor, but that boy had a brilliant mind which definitely was not meant to be wasted in laboring at any food-stall. Those friends then spent their spare time in the town looking out for such brilliant capable minds. Soon, their act of grandeur spread amongst other students of college and the group kept expanding and so did the number of children. The group was turned into an NGO named ‘Bachhpan’.
Friends, the above one is not any book-written story. It’s a real life chapter of those friends. ‘Bachhpan’ (https://m.facebook.com/Bachhpan) was started in 2011, by the students of one college at Vallabh-Vidhyanagar (Anand), a small town of India. The organization is divided into two main projects Aadhar and Pathshala. Today, under project Aadhar, 45 children are being admitted in the schools and under Pathshala, around 400 poor children get their basic education. Pathshalas are actually small tuition gatherings, where at regular interval of days, the college students go to teach in the slum areas. Students, not only from the founding college but also other nearby colleges feels proud to be the part of this organization. It has also started expanding in three other districts.
So, my point is, if a simple group of collegians can give a share of humanity to this world, why can’t we? Charity begins at home. When you will see a needy child, growing up as a good civilian of whom you are the cause, you will receive the best boon of blessings.
It is said that child-labour has been banned. Has it really? According to UNICEF, the recent count of child labours in the world is around 218 millions. The global rate of educated population of the world is 84%. Think of the considerable amount of reduction in child-labours if each of the literate person descends his education to at least one kid. Everyday, media, newspapers, and magazines come up with charities done by the government, celebrities, the NGOs, etc. They are already known to you. Now, it’s your turn!
