Its has become a usually thing for me to see children on the street celebrating when I buy them bread, some even dance for it, the smile on their faces if usually pure and straight form the heart. Even if I request their assistance when I’m buying them food, they will still buy bread and juice if I ask why do they chose that, they say they don’t want to waist my money.

Some kids that stay with their parents say they do not want or eat bread, while there are those that celebrate over it. It’s not easy on the streets. I feel terrible when ever I give them food and leave them on the street. Most grown ups, always assume that it a child typical choice to be on the street.

If we can think for once that for every symptom that we see, there is an underlining cause then we can win this battle. The fire that we see did not just start where we see it, but it started some where. A fire fighter will tell you when you are fighting fire you start at its base, then the visible blazing flames will eventually blaze off.

We as “adults” must start thinking like ones, let us stop praising the problem, yes its gigantic, what are doing about it? I believe we are the base of the problem and we need to change our mind sets. If each of us can start helping a child on the street, solely focusing on that child’s problem we can see the change. It’s possible, fighting fire with hatred and anger (fire) won’t help, let’s directly look at a problem. I know that some of us are still waiting for it to happen to us (or a closer relative), and then we will start acting on it. Then if it’s like that, then wait, its coming. The “street kids” did not choose to be in this position; it could have been me or you.
