On the sidewalks of the streets...

A child selling smoke;

A girl is begging the wind;

Another one carries stones;

A fourth girl exhausted by the work of the home;

Another one, his childhood robbed by car fumes;

A harsh world for children;

Remember ... there is no justification for exploiting children economically
