A thought which i felt like sharing to the group...

Hello Everybody,
I am Aarti and this is the very first time i am writing for this group.
I just had a thought to share and wrote it as an article.
So,just sharing :
IF YOU WERE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN FOOD OR EDUCATION !!!
A Simple question : If you were to choose one between food or education what would you choose?
If I was to ask this question to a rich,happy,healthy school going kid.For him/her this question is a JOKE. For him the answer would be all Grins and an answer of choosing food. Because he knows just by choosing an answer doesn’t change his fate. He is well versed with flowing money which satisfies his needs of both healthy food and good education.
But what would be the answer from a starving kid who hasn’t eaten for 2 days and lives in misery. Shocking, but for him survival is the whole point. He doesn’t care if he has education but all he cares about is his living, his survival.
When one can’t meet the basic point of living and doesn’t have sufficient food,the part of education and its importance looks vague to him.
I have met parents living in misery and when I asked them would you send your kid to school or to work. Their answer was “I would choose school only if school could fill their stomach”.
In India everyday several brains still strangle between the strands of poverty and lack of awareness and bind themselves in misery.
Can we change this? Or at least give it a try.
Can we put a hand together for them . They don’t need much .They don’t just need our money.They need a little support and awareness. We can start this right from your home, right from our neighbourhood.
Many of us have maids and we see so many lower middle class people living in our surroundings.We can truly help them.Its not just money.Its the little care and support they need from us.
A little time of ours can change lives.We can educate them with so much. Lets start with this.
How many of them do u really think know that there is something called an RTE act?
“The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act or Right to Education Act (RTE), which was passed by the Indian parliament on 4 August 2009 and it describes the modalities of the provision of free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 in India under Article 21A of theIndian Constitution”
We can make them aware of this.25% of the school seats are reserved for children for poor families. We can help them utilize this opportunity.
I am sure a kid always dreams to become a well civilized person in life and not a labourer.
A little awareness,a tiny help of support and a small help can change a kid’s life and we can never even imagine what wonders can it make.
I am glad that organizations like TrueIndia are making an effort in this direction and I am glad that you are a part of the good work.
The Story of Sumanth brings out more hope in this direction. His dream of being an Automobile Engineer was not shattered by the tragerdies in his life instead True India helped him to cherish his dream. He is the boy who scored 517/600 in his 10th standard and might had to stop his education due to his father’s death and to support his family. But true india team had faith in him and supported him in his time of plight to reach his goal. The faith brought colours when he reached greater heights by scoring A grade in intermediate exams and proudly awaiting the engineering exam results. I see hope and happiness in his dream. And I am sure there are many students out there who are still awaiting for your support, a little of your time and a little of your care and faith in them. There are many talented Sumanth’s out there.
A lit candle of education truly brightens a life forever. Would you ever mind litting one!!!
Regards,
Aarti
