Faces of children in the Canalside Clinic


Many of the children do not go to school because they need to work for food to help their families. They say that they really want to study, but they cannot as their parents need their help and if they go to school they will have no food to eat.

 
  
Even though many of these children are very young they need to work hard just for daily food for themselves and for their family. They have all had to grow up very quickly and are busy working from very early morning until late evening every day. Their faces show no hope, have no joy and are full of worry.
