Heeyyy after a real long time, now I pulled out some time to blog. Something exciting and nice to share. I had been longing to spend a day into something other than watching movies and lunching out. I saw a mail from my office service team which was informing about their plans to get into Child Labor rescue. That is it; I immediately called up the organizer to confirm my presence to volunteer for the program. The plan gave a little hesitation in the beginning coz they had planned to children working in some shops, hotels and so on. They were planning to take help of cops if the owners don’t co operate, which sounded risky but then I said myself "if not now then when". Next day (04 Jul 09) all volunteers and organizers met at Ripon Building. From there we started to Mylapore to spot a Child labor working in a hotel as reported by one of our colleague. But then the boy wasn’t there so the rescue team demanded a letter from the owner agreeing that he will not involve in deploying child labor. From there we started off to spot the next child in the list we had, who happens to work for an Iron shop, but before we reached our target destination I spotted a boy (Manigandan in the pic) working in a Mechanic shop, we stopped the vehicle and the Government Child rescue team members and NGO Child rescue team members went to the shop and started arguing with the owner of the shop and we slowly joined them. In few minutes, could see the place was jammed and everybody stopped their vehicles to see what was going on. Also had to call the COPS since the owner was not letting us take the kid with us. And with the help of COPS we rescued the boy and took him to the Child welfare office of the NGO for the boy’s shelter. Before leaving I just spoke to the boy who was by then in a sad state just to give him a feel of comfort. He said “I wanna go home” I said you will be given proper schooling – and there comes the reply “ I don’t wanna study I wanna work” asking him why, he said “ my parents are too old they can’t work” My eyes went moist that moment, but dint wanna show him and wanting to make him feel relaxed, told him his parents would be called and they will be given options to do some easy work from home and he can take up some vocational courses if don’t wanna study" which is offered by this NGO. Rescuing is just not the task now that I am part of it I should track on how it is taken forward, Anything big happens for once in Life – either good or bad – and keep its impact lifelong. I wanna give this little boy a good one. Hope god gives his support for this good cause.
