Although Bharat is nine
years old he is only in his first year of school in Shree
Swoait Ganesh Primary School. Youngest of seven children,
Bharat’s parents were too poor to send him to school
until Namaste Banepa took him under their wing. Bharat’s
teacher reports he is a good student, particularly talented
in mathematics. Bharat’s parents never attended school
although his father can read and write a little. Unfortunately,
none of his siblings have been lucky enough to attend school
and are now too old to start.
"The
Convention on the Rights of the Child
adopted by the United Nations in 1989 reaffirms
that all children have rights that must be respected,
protected and promoted. Article 28 states that
"All children have a right to education".
In some places around the world, this just does
not happen."
