Common sights in my country. Children at very young age with mother or father or both parents sleeping on the streets. Why are they here? Will the parent accept to help themselves if given help by NGOs?
I don’t go to talk to them myself. I think it is not my skill and expertise. My intervention will not result in a long term solution. I close my eyes and tell myself that NGOs will work with them and provide them then opportunity they need to get out of this situation. What I should do is to donate and support the NGOs that know how to help them off the streets for long term.
