To Change the destructive into constructive

I am, Asadul Islam, a student of Jagannath University, Dhaka. I am trying my best to conquer my dream.But I saw the gruesome picture of life where dream is only dream. I experienced a vagrant life in the age of 3-8 that was the fundamental period of a child. I am the descendent from the most rural part of the country of Bangladesh where the life is full of tragedy, struggling with the natural disaster in everyday life.Therefore, like other lumpen families my family was also a gloomy victim of natural disaster and left the home and migrated to a busiest city. In my childhood, I grown up in a society where most of the children of my age either beg in street or pick up daub-paper or garbage from the dustbin instead of schooling just for the want of a piece of bread, and I was also among them. At that time, I was not concerned about what is privilege? and what is the right of a child. After my eight, my elder brother took responsibility dedicated his own career, returned our family to our village and resent me to school. By the grace of Allah, my parent's passion, my elder brothers'dedication and my hard work I could be able return to the mainstream. I saw the dejected reality of many children who are leading their life under the over-bridges in cities, sleep among the garbage or in a dustbin, or under the sunset ofany shop or any building, who don't know the definition of life, don't have the knowledge of right and sense of humanity. I saw this sorrowful scenario of children who are either rootless by-born or they victim of natural disaster or they are the victim of man-made ferocities. This is not only in our country but is the picture of fearsome inhumanity throughout the world. But unfortunately, neither any local section nor the states' authority, and not even any international humanitarian agency come forward to protect the rights of these unprivileged children. They always left behind the development policy of the authority. As a result, they not only deprived of their own right but mostly they grown up as the spoiler in the way of sustainable development and world peace. We can't deny that these sects always work as the cradles house of drug, crimes, robbery and other evil acts. As I have the real experience of this, the inhuman realities of these rootless children hurt me so much. So,I try to do something as my capacity for the betterment of their condition. For this I, along with my friends,established an organization that is working as a platform for the unprivileged sectionin our villages.We took responsibility of some children from the most impoverished families, arranged counseling programs with the parents. We,from the 2009 to 2018, trained about 300 mothers of our villages about how can they support their children mentally and economically to successfully continue their schooling so that they have-not to let-down the street. In last two years of my university life I created a volunteer forum along with my friends to work among the rootless children surrounding our university campus. We collected all these children, managed street-schooling, gave theminstruments of earning so that they can give up the begging.

I have some ideas of changing this doleful part into a productive one by helping them, enabling them to continue their schooling. These unprivileged children vary according to their place, natures and conditions; thus, every group need specific treatment suitable for them. For example, children from extreme poor families could be given economic and logistic support along with families; rootless children specially in the cities should be collected, given shelter, education and income-based and vocational training etc.; and children affected by natural disaster or man-made ferocity should be given legal protection and picked up in safer zone. Although it's not so easy by me alone or by my forum, but it's very possible for national or international authorities to take policies so that these harmful parts could be changed into future power to build nation and to attain sustainable peace.
