Ryan international school and poor children from slum!

It was the two faces of childhood: one photo was of the laughing, happy not bothered about the camera shooting them and another group of children, rescued on Antichild labour day: frightened, poor, tired looking into the camera curiously, unaware about the future written for them. The first photo of the laughing children was from Ryan international School, Mumbai who were just returning back from Canada after a co- pilot learning course. Well dressed, healthy and happy.......they had big dreams; some are planning to be pilot, someone for IIT and someone for the career which i never even heard of. The second photo was also from the same Mumbai: 12 boys rescued on Anti Child Labour Day from different hotels, restaurant, tea stall. They are working hard to earn some money to meet both end meet. No dreams in their eyes only innocence, careless what is there for them on next day. It is just one day passed. Not living the life; just pushing it. I thought the children from Ryan international School will have children going to the same school probably and the rescued children?? Will their children go to school even? This is how, they say: Life goes on.
