Some parents are increasingly convinced that children are the real place to work to help their families so as to stay alive, but such a belief creates a bad habit that enables them to rely on their children and force them to endure hardships to providing necessary sustenance to their families even if it is difficult and impossible to do.
Among these children working in bad and difficult conditions, the child Hasan Mohammed Hasan, 13, is working in accompanying his donkey pulling a cart for goods to be transported from one place to another, known as a Cart.
From 7 am to 12 noon, and from 4 pm to 6 pm, Hassan continues to work carrying what can be transferred. At night, he returns home exhausted after hours of moving from one street to another.
When Newsyemen met him at the morning he was smiling and friendly. " the donkey and I work to support the all family members".
"It is true that I did not earn much money, I earn a little, a half is spent for donkey to buy it grains and donkey's food; and the second half daily expenses for my family".
Hassan is working barefoot, while a medical injection is still on his hand, he was just recovered after he was suffering by fever.
Hassan refused to answer the reason why he walked barefoot in an area where the temperature reached 33 degrees. He replied in a faint smile, as if he said " what I have earn in all day, is not enough to buy shoes".
The boy is satisfied with what he is doing. "Work is important, and helping my family is more important than anything," he said in a low voice.
