Discuss in your group.
- What difference do you notice in the two images?
- Which of the two situations, should change?
- How and when can the situation change?
- How can you, as a student, contribute and help make a difference to the needy children?
Solution
- In the first image, a boy is probably working for a brick factory, and in the second image, a boy is riding a bicycle on his way to/from school.
- The situation in the first image, of the boy working for a brick factory, should change.
- Just like every drop makes an ocean, each of us must make efforts to change the situation. It is only then that a change will occur in the near future.
- As a student, I can make the effort to teach at least one poor child. Also, I would speak to my elders and explain to them to not employ children for work. We do not need to find a specific time for this. We can make this practice a part of our daily life.

Friends, we can do this. Governments must make child-friendly policies, and invest in education and young people. Businesses must be more responsible, accountable and open to innovative partnerships. Intergovernmental agencies must work together to accelerate action. Global civil society must rise above the business-as-usual and fragmented agendas. Faith leaders and institutions, and all of us must stand with our children. We must be bold, we must be ambitious and we must have the will. We must keep our promises. |

Read the following passage and do the activities:
B1. Who said to whom? (2)
| Sentence | Who said | To whom | |
| i. | Is the world so poor that it cannot give me a toy and a book? | ||
| ii. | What is my fault? |
|
Twenty years ago, in the foothills of the Himalayas, I met a small, skinny child labourer. He asked me : “Is the world so poor that it cannot give me a toy and a book instead of forcing me to take a gun or a tool?” I met with a Sudanese child soldier. He was kidnapped by an extremist militia. As his first training lesson, he was forced to kill his friends and family. He asked me: “What is my fault?” Friends, all the great religions teach us to care for our children. Jesus said: “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to them.” The Holy Quran says: “Kill not your children because of poverty.” Friends! There is no greater violence than to deny the dreams of our children. Therefore ... I refuse to accept that all the temples and mosques and churches and prayer houses have no place for the dreams of our children. I refuse to accept that the world is so poor, when just one week of global military expenditure can bring all the children to classrooms. |
