Question

a diary entry for street children working or playing in your area

Answer 1

HEY HERE IS REAL STORY AND SUCESS OF ABEL..
Abel is 13 and told me he went to school, however this was hard to believe as he worked every day in one of the beach bars in Baga. Working in bars was a popular choice of employment for young boys. Although having long hours (8am – 2am) Abel loved his job at the bar and often served alcohol. In the beach bars, young boys often join at 13 and never leave. Abel was the new recruit of  Zanzibar and now spent all of his time, including sleeping, at the shack. Most of the older boys at the bar had tattoos of Zanzibar and Abel obviously looked up to his new family.
When investigating children workers in Goa, Abel kept appearing. Bar work was only Abel’s first job; he also sold jewellery on the beach. He kept very quiet about this as he feared the outcome of the police. Other children selling things could flee the beach from the police but this was his home.

At around 1am, Abel was spotted handing out leaflets for a beauty parlour. He told me he had finished at the bar and only worked for an hour in the evenings in the city of Calungute.

Abel is a quiet and reserved young boy. He is very untrusting of tourists and was obviously wise beyond his years as he never spends time with other children. The bar has provided Abel with income and shelter though has kept him from childhood and education.

REALITY:-...
Many of the children in Goa work long hours every day just to  survive. From a young age, the lure of music and bright lights can draw boys into bar jobs.
