Copy and paste the code bellow:

Bangladesh has a population of 140 million, of which 65 million are children. The majority of the population is very poor with 35 % of the population living below one dollar a day.

Child labor could be considered as the most important human rights issue in Bangladesh, given the very large number of children and linkages with other rights violations. Employers from several industries often prefer children as they are cheaper and easier to handle than adults.

As a result children are deprived of their childhood and they are often working very long hours under hazardous conditions, which represent a threat towards their physical and mental health.

Be cautious and don’t let your children under extreme hard work. Let them free like a kite.

An amazing post that curtapes the essence of the work that is being done in Barisal Province. The scale of the efforts of Save the Children to invoke a culture change is truly astounding.It is, however, the way you end the post, which made me consider this comment for the last hour.You are my wife, best friend and the only person in this world I trust enough to let through my layers.Yes I miss you desperately. I would love nothing more than to have you in my arms and to know that you are truly safe, but I have to say that the journey you take is not one you take alone. It is so easy to passively watch poverty in other parts of the world from the comfort we call home, but it is an entirely different thing to witness it from the eyes and heart of someone you know. You have a great gift that people gravitate towards you. It is a gift I do not posses or even understand but it is there in you nevertheless. So in essence the plights of people in Bangladesh are now being made more real for thousands of people through your eyes. A life lived with very little but still one that can smile with joy at the sight of you all suddenly becomes very real for us all.For once in my life, I do not think of myself or my loved ones. I think of the children who stand more to gain than I have to lose. So to answer, do I miss you? Desperately. Would I like you in my arms? Definately. Would I want you back here now? The answer I come up with has to be no. To see the pictures of joy on faces and to give them hope that the politicians of this world will not forget them is a good trade. (For a few days at least!) Sleep tight.
