Lovely children
It`s great to be young. As a child growing up in Africa, I could remember how happy I used to be when my father shared a bottle of Fanta or Coca-Cola with his children.
Even though we were four in number, we were happy and proud of our father for providing us with a bottle of Fanta.
We didn`t derive our happiness from the Fanta given to us, but the love our father had for us to buy that bottle of Fanta was what made us happy.
There is nothing a child likes more than love, care, happiness, toys, and a healthy environment, yet many children in both Third World Countries and other Advanced Countries have yet to experience what happiness is about.
Many children sometimes find themselves facing severe, diverse problems more than the adults who brought them into the world. Children are violently separated from their parents, ending up in foster homes, the orphanage, and other health institutions.
In the United States, the National Runaway Switchboard estimates that about 1.3 million runaway and homeless children are living on the streets, and in Britain, the Children's Society is responsible for such issues, while in Belgium, the Child Focus is also actively dealing with truancy and other problems affecting children.
Many children are suffering worldwide, without any parents to cater to their welfare, yet many people are looking for a child without success. It`s the responsibility of parents to make a child happy. Children are national assets for development.
They are the leaders of tomorrow; therefore, they must be well-treated.
