After watching the documentary I can honestly say that I’ve got more appreciative of my life and where I was born. The hardships these people have to go through every day just to get by is totally inconceivable to me. How a mother can sell her own child to a stranger just so she can buy provisions for her family is totally unreal to me, and I am not a parent myself. This tragedy has been going on for century and people want to help but when do we know when it is helping and when it is crossing the line between two different types of cultures. Well some people do know how to help these people like the teacher who would do anything to at least help some of these people so that they can live a normal and healthy life. Yet it is sometimes not enough, for sending these children to schools does not guarantee their success in life, they are still bound by their parents rule, and we cannot compete there because it would be turning help, into force. I honestly wished that these people would educate themselves more but with what? With so little resources how does one educate on what is right and what is wrong? When the necessities for survival are so much higher than the necessities of telling right from wrong. It saddens me to see these children who are bred for the purpose of bringing in money to the family no matter the cost, and it saddens me that they know what the future lies in stores for them and it is not a diploma for a university. This world needs to change; it needs to change fast but that in their lies the problem. Change does not happen at a fast pace, but rather in small details. Either way these children need to be relieved from their duties as harbingers of money and looked upon as they are, kids, or this cycle of using one another will never end.
