It is so shocking to see many children suffering in Sri Lanka everyday. There’s just not a full stop to it, which brings such sadness into our lives. Children suffer to such big extent, that they are unable to eat, due to lack of money, and so starts to beg in railway stations. The situations are so worse in Sri Lanka, due to all the wars, which mean that practically no one has a peaceful life. The awful situations sometimes lead parents to abandon their children, as they can’t afford to look after them. In fact a high number of lives have been affected by Tsunami, but the number just cannot be justified. Lots of people have lost their loved ones, homes, jobs, and everything they owned. So when we compare our lives to them, you can see the massive difference. But we just don’t realise, and complain so much, and are never satisfied with the amount of things we have or even the big issue ‘’money’’. People, who have money, want more and more money, which I think is so common, but so wrong, and these type of people need to stop and think. To tell you the truth, if you are provided with or eat 3 meals everyday, then you’re considered as rich. Because those people don’t even get that, they starve for food, and just hope that they will be able to eat at least once a day.
For those affected by Tsunami, the education is a big problem, as the schools have been wrecked down, and so they have to wait until they are rebuilt, or you get many children who go to work instead to save their family, and to keep the family going, as I said earlier to get access to food is a big issue for them. But we just don’t realise how lucky we are with what we’ve got. I know we all lead busy lives, but if you could just take few minutes and think and perhaps pray for all those who are suffering, it will be very kind of you. To read news, see pictures and watch video clips of such sufferings brings tears to my eyes, I just can’t handle it. I really wish I could do something for them, but I do have an aim, which I will not disclose in my article. I really hope you have realised the amount of people who are suffering around us, and that we should be thankful with what we’ve got, and try our best to help those in need, if we can. If not, to even think about them, is great.
