Street children (Toaki) in Dhaka City: What do they eat?

Street children in Dhaka city lead a very measurable life. They eat various kinds of things. But from where they get it? Most of they have to face of kindness of people. Some time they have to face the rude behave from people.In these pictures one boy is eating food sitting by a loan place. He also shared it with his companion. He and his companion always share all things. If any one gives some money they also divide it equally.


Globalfootprint has written:

“Some of the children are on the street - they work, play and spend most of their day with other children on the street but have families to return to at night. These children often help the family earn money by working on the streets.

Other children are of the street - they survive without family, entirely on their own, except for the company of other street children or those willing to help and support them.”

Although they eat food by the kindness of others but they have a simple mind to help others. Dear viewers, in this picture you can see that one boy is giving food to the dog.

Street Child (Tokai): In Dhaka City

The child is standing motionless with dirty dress and a bag in his left hand. I took this picture from Chanrama Uddan (a park) in Dhaka City. BBC has written:

There has been an alarming rise in the number of street children in the major cities of Bangladesh.
The increase is linked to recent figures released by the government which show that the urban population of Bangladesh continues to grow by around nine percent a year.

But every morning as the sun rises a host of children walk across this vast mound of rotting rubbish scavenging for used plastic water bottles or similar rubbish.

In bangla we called Tokai (street child). He gathers various kinds of thing like polythyne, empty water bottles etc. At night he used to go to the shop to sell and buy some food as he got by selling this thing. Sometime he wants money to the people who came to spend some lazy time in this park. Most of the time he has to spend nigh beside the road or this park.
