Where is the heaven for children in Vietnam when they have to work wanderingly every day just to get a very small amount of money. They are still the children who actually must be sent to school, who still don't know how life is and how to get money exactly. They are young so they have no voice to speak up their rights that they need to have.
A sight about their living, their working and their nothing... For me, it's not fair. They don't have to spend their whole day working for only about $ 1.50 or $ 2.00. One more thing, they don't have any their personal papers (what do social security service ???) so they can't have rights about Children protection, medicine or education.
What do they need to say now? Not only for them, but also for us - Vietnamese community specifically and International community in the world generally... must to get them out of this situation. In fact, there are also a lot of volunteer foreigners and Vietnamese locals who feel touched and open houses where they pick up street children to get them in to live and study there. I just want to say that give street children their rights which almost the children have. They are too young to work like that.
One more thing, I'm Vietnamese but i still wonder where Children's rights in Vietnam are. The Vietnamse government can't take care of Children well, I'm sure of that because i still see a lot of street children who are working as shoes shiners, newspaper sellers, lottery ticket sellers, etc... in Vietnam now.
Thus, this situation is discussed all the time in Vietnamese newspapers and also in foreign newspapers. Above is my opinion about this.
