Role of children in Afghanistan-Anoosha

Every body knows that children are like flowers. If we look after them well, they will be very beautiful in the future. But if we pay less attention in looking after them they will fade away and will be of no use to the society.

As we can see in many backward countries including Afghanistan the children are involved in hard works to feed their families. You can see dirty, barefoot children with their weather beaten faces who are washing cars, begging or forcing you to buy what ever they are selling in streets. Because many of them have lost their family members in civil war and they are forced to earn money to live.

Many of children in Afghanistan do not attend school, do not have enough food to eat and have no clean drinking water.

But on the contrary, we see civilized countries give equal respect to the children. And try to improve their imaginations and pay value to their ideas.

But unfortunately in Afghanistan especially in provinces less attention is being paid to what children think or what ideas they have. Not knowing that one day these children with their world changing ideas can take their countries to the higher stages of civilization and modernization.

And if we want to reach this goal we have to provide the children with good education and meet their basic needs such as clean drinking water, safe place to live and secure them with health insurance.

We are sure solidarity of world children can give great hope to Afghan children to have a better life in the future.
