When I first went to Kolkata (Calcutta) in India years ago, I hired a rikshaw to take me around for a while. On the way back to the hotel, the driver asked me whether I wanted to buy some hand-made rugs. I said no, but much to my dismay he took me anyway to a rug making area, with street after street of little rug making shops, filled with children doing the work. I asked whether why they weren't in school, but was told they all went to school in the morning, and only worked after school. That may or may not be true, but instead of playing, doing homework, they were earning miserable wages. We take it for granted that such things no longer happen, but in fact they do in so much of the world. Kids who get no chance to learn basic skills for survival. We would like to think that the world is improving all the time, but is it so? Traveling around the poorer countries of this world makes you realize that it's not really the case. Sad but true.
