Kids in India
in India live too many kids
so most of them are very poor, many are working or begging
many kid are ill but the doctor is too expensive
in Bombay, one of the greatest Indian cities, many children are living on the streets
all in all about 3 million kids are living on the streets
their parents couldn\'t feed them anymore or sold them
many families live in slums under terrible conditions
the woman provides for the kids, the man is working
family is very important for the Indians
the husbands and wives are often chosen by the parents
girls are less worth than boys
baby-girls are often killed after their birth
they are sold as dancers in bars but in fact they became prostitutes
most children go to school just a few weeks or not at all
the materials for school are very expensive
and many parents think that their children don\'t need to go to school
in India, many children are working
that\'s also a reason why so much can\'t read, write and calculate
most of them work in agriculture and mining industry
they also work as slaves, prostitutes
or were sold to richer people where girls often are abused
the law forbids child labour since 1938 but the people are too poor
they need the money of all workers in family
most working kids have no time for school
they work under dangerous and terrible conditions
often, they have to work 12 or 14 hours a day for getting less money
aids is a great problem in India
the most important reason for that is prostitution
kids take drugs to replace their own problems
they aren\'t enough resistant to aids anymore
many relief organisations try to help the kids
they teach them in some courses for example for dressmakers or joiners
