The Forgotten Children...

The children of the world

The children are the people who will become tomorrow’s leaders and adult population. Their existence is very important for our honour and fulfilled human duty. Children are also humanity’s symbol of all virtue.

It is almost tempting to suggest that sufficient nurturing and support of children is a lasting solution to most current and future problems facing the world. Children are the ultimate gift between two people who love each other and also the world that needs them for its lasting prosperity. Without children, the future becomes non-existent and ultimately lacks meaning. The children are a real symbol and point of reference on how to live a completely truthful, happy and contended life.

Unfortunately, the children are the most at risk of the human unit. Children of the world are literary at the mercy of their parents, as well as the vibrancy and shape of the community they reside in. We are a fragmented world, our people suffer, and our people die for mostly escapable causes of death. We are all children but the vulnerable are the very young simply because they are unable to fend for themselves being at a stage of complete dependence.

A large number of parents are not prepared sufficiently in order to handle life’s challenges with a confidence that will benefit children. This happens as a result of various adverse realities that inevitably affect the general wellbeing and growth of the children. The children of the world are definitely and usually at the receiving of these harsh realities.

The Asia-Pacific, Africa and America have a fair share of surmountable and unacceptable problems that affect children. A recent study reveals that children, especially those who are located in these regions are the ones most affected by the impact of poor or unclean water supply and sanitation when compared to the effects of the outcome of war.

Across the world many children miss out on their education because:

• they are made to work,
• they are recruited into armed forces,
• their families do not have the means to pay for schooling,
• discrimination and racism undermine their chance to receive an education,
• they face violence as they pursue their education.

The list is endless and is threatened by continual growth unless thorough measures are implemented throughout the globe. Far too many children of the world live such undignified lives. Should the children continue to live such undignified lives?
