For many children coming back
to school could be just another thing, but for a majority of children
it is the only thing they wait for! Yes, as per a report in 2015, about 13.5
million children in India are out-of-school. The reasons are many but the most
crucial being, hunger and poverty. When
the stomach growls, we need food but when we don’t have the money to buy food,
we go out to work – this is the condition that deprives a large section of
children from attending school. Schooling supports development of children in
many ways:
- Children learn to read and write;
- They get an opportunity to hone their talents;
- They learn multiple things covering textbooks, sports, cultural activities, and life skills; and
- School guides children towards their dreams and goals.
But, what do children do when hunger pangs interfere with their learning and schooling?
