Emphasizing the need for education
-Lack of education is the root cause of poverty and child labour
-There are many charitable orgs that provide food/clothing/shelter, education gets neglected, hence we focus on ed
-By providing food, you feed a child for a day, by providing ed, you feed her/him for life
-The rural parents too very clearly understand the need for educating the children
-The problem is, access to schools is not easy, atmosphere in schools is not conducive, teachers are uninterested
-Hence parents loose faith in schools and send their children to work
