I want to share my heart with you. I’ve been working for the children of Pakistan since I was 17. Im 50 years old today. I’ve buried kids as small as 6 months, I’ve held babies whose mothers tried to cut their heads off and bury them, and they survived. I’ve seen kids brought in off the streets shaking with ice and heroin addiction. I’ve seen thousands of kids broken limbed, wounded, raped, because they were tiny labourers in homes. My own sim was a bonded slave at a brick kiln at the the age of 4. Today he is nearly an engineer. Shukar Alhamdolillah. If your family falls into poverty, will you send your 10 year old to work in some strangers home? Depriving your child of the right to learn and more importantly the right to be safe. No. You will not. So why insult the average poor parent of Pakistan.? They work! They work in fields! In factories! In homes. Single mothers. Widows. Sweat all day and educate their children. I SALUTE THEM! So remember those parents who send their children into forced Labour, exposing them to injury, are parents that need the support of the state. And the State of Punjab IS PROVIDING THAT SUPPORT. We have 9 working shelters and 25 in the making. ALL of them have hostels, schools, health care, mental health care and career counselling for the children. Work is happening. We all wish there was more, but it’s amazing work and we need to support it and encourage it. These bureaus should be all over Pakistan! They support children who need support and make sure kids are not being used by parents. Parents also need to learn two things, first being family planning and the second is, they cannot have children with the sole intent to send them off to work. Because you will Be surprised, that is what many many people see children, even their own children as…. A way of making money. Do not encourage or support that culture. My second foster boys own biological mother turned down a house, money, all bills paid, because she makes so much off her surviving kids begging. She burned my boys legs and you give. He is still getting speech therapy. The bureau also has its own court system to prosecute criminal parents. I have seen kids whose mothers flushed them down the toilet, abandoned them on trash heaps, or left the rented house, leaving the crying children behind, because the new husband didn’t want them. All these kids are my kids. They Are the bureaus kids, are @SarahAhmad_CPWB kids. But most of all they are Pakistans kids. And each and every one of us is Pakistan. I ask you to help us in this cause. And trust in our work. Trust in me when I say child domestic labour is evil. Trust me when i say we can and should fight for a Pakistan where EVERY child is in school. That day is coming. InshaAllah. In the meantime please I BEG OF YOU, pray for Rizwana. And pray that awful evil woman, does not escape justice! I have not been able to sleep a wink knowing she is roaming the earth free to attempt to murder another child with barbaric torture, while this child is fighting for every breath with a broken body and an even more broken spirit. Please pray she survives. I then pledge to making sure she thrives. InshaAllah – at Karachi, Pakistan
