The reason I chose this particular image is because of the ongoing crisis, I’ll try to be positive amongst all the negativity but we as a community must think about these hard-working men and women. They do the labor work all day and get paid pennies for the tasks they accomplish. This post is a shoutout to each and every individual around the world who works on the street as a garbage picker, cleaner or even construction workers you are the heroes we don’t deserve. Without them our streets would be dirty, the sewerage lines would fill up, parks and public place would be left abandoned and the construction of roads, bridges and buildings wouldn’t be possible. We must appreciate there efforts instead of mocking them, unfortunately the hateful world tends to do the latter. Every work is respectful as long as it is earned with hard work and dignity if a person has even a little doubt that they can belittle anyone based on what they do then you’re really mistaken buddy and must grow up. These people are the backbone to any successful society.
In this time of grave worry, wee must support such individuals who are daily wagers and can’t gout to earn, I guess strong governments in the west give aids and funds such workers but us third world countries such as Pakistan that isn’t possible, hence we the people must step up and help them get through these tough times. By the grace of God here in Karachi many Non-Government Organizations and individual people have come out and started giving groceries to such daily wagers and extra income for them to pay the rent or bills in order for them to survive this pandemic. Some experts are suggesting that whether people die of covid 19 or not nut these people will die of hunger if nothing is done for them. I have seen this firsthand the grief and suffering they are facing without any income.
Please take this as a message for awareness and help the families of daily wagers around you, if you have the capacity another thing avoid over stocking this is also going to negatively impact these families. As the prices of some essential products may increase making it even more difficult for hardworking families to buy them. Put humanity over yourself this instance I’m sure you will be okay after all this ends. If all of us start giving back to the society I’m sure we can bring a positive change in it.
