Next up, we’ve got Lost Spring by Anees Jung, a heart-rending exploration of the struggles of underprivileged children who lose their carefree childhood to poverty and exploitation. The chapter tells the story of Saeeda and the author’s encounter with rag-pickers. Saeeda’s tale of hardship and survival as she works day in and day out is an eye-opener. The story makes you realize just how important it is to protect and care for the most vulnerable among us—children who should be playing, not working!
The narrative vividly paints the distressing picture of how these children are robbed of their dreams and forced into a life of labor. The chapter reminds us that while we complain about small inconveniences in life, some children across the world are dreaming of the simplest things—like going to school or having a warm meal.
The ultimate message? Protect your childhood. And if you’re lucky enough to have one, don’t take it for granted! 🌈
