Child Reporters in Indian Social Forum

We,Three child reporters each from Koraput and Dhenkanal two from Keonjhar, one from Bhubaneswar and four from West Bengal , had been to Delhi recently to participate in the Child Rights For World Social Forum(CR4WSF), which was a part of Indian Social Forum.
Our participation in the forum was to interact with children and child loving people , who had come there. While we were in the train to Delhi ,we met many people who loved children very much . We learnt many things from them .
Yes we met one girl in the train . She was sweeping the floor in the train. We talked to her . She told on how she was facing problems in her village after her parents had died. She had to discontinue her studies to feed herself . She was no more interested to get educated as she was more concerned about her income in the train. We shared the fruits with her . She was happy .
We went to Delhi and ISF. We talked to the children and adults and wrote what we observed and learnt .We stayed for three days and brought out three newsletters . We are thankful to each one who had talked to us , enquired on our activities in the villages .
We are thankful to CACL and UNICEF for taking us there and have such a nice experience . We are sharing our experience with our friends.
With regards
Child Reporters.
