“No longer street children”

A photo along with the above caption published in TDS on August 13, 2015 caught my attention. The photo was about two orphan siblings Md Nasir Ahmed Shamim and Mehedi Hasan Sabuj who got a guardian in Md. Shawkat Hossain, the senior judicial magistrate of Chandpur. The latter took the responsibility of these two children's bringing up and schooling. I would like to thank him personally for his exemplary act of kindness. His compassion would make all the difference in the lives of these two children.

In our country, especially in Dhaka, there are thousands of street children roaming around. The affluent class should follow the footsteps of Md. Shawkat Hossain to mitigate the sufferings of these street children.
