A Flight was flying through the clouds Suddenly it lost the balance.
Everyone started shouting in fear. But, a small girl kept playing with her toy.
After an hour, the flight was landed safely. A man asked the girl, “How could you play with your toy when everyone else was afraid?”
The small girl smiled and said, “My dad is the pilot, I knew he’ll land me safely!!!”

You may see child labour is not a serious issue or you may choose to presume that child labour happens only in movies. Because it is not happening anywhere in your circle. If you think like that then it is time now to wake up.
The very product you use, the food you eat or the brand you feel proud of using may have some children’s tears behind. There are millions of child labours and hundreds of them are being saved by eminent social workers like Kailash Satyarthi and organisations like child helpline in India.

Doing something is always better than doing nothing. Closing your eyes doesn’t mean that nothing happens around you. Watch the documentary to understand what happens actually, which is just a sample of what is happening.

Maddie Tippett, from Newcastle, Australia, became an instant Internet sensation after going toe-to-toe with her father whose YouTube video attracted more than nine million views online after her father posted it in January 2012. He was trying to trick her into saying she loves him more than her mother. During the two-minute video, called ‘Who’s Your Favourite?’, her father Mick attempts every trick in the book to get his three-year-old daughter to say she loves him more than Mum – but the cheeky and clever wit from the youngster leaves her father sighing at his repeated failed attempts.
Tragically, Maddie died suddenly on Feb 2014 after displaying ‘cold-like symptoms’. Her parents took her to the GP, who told them it was nothing more than a virus. But when Maddie’s condition worsened that night, her parents quickly rushed her to John Hunter Hospital – where doctors discovered two strands of the common cold had taken hold and one of them was attacking her heart.
Mr Tippett said the virus was ‘too much’ for his little girl and she ‘conked out’ a short time later. Maddie’s mother Kerryn said despite their unspeakable grief, they would take heart knowing their little girl brought so much joy to the world through her YouTube video.
‘Part of me feels that Maddie was meant to change the world and I feel sad that she didn’t get the chance, But then I think in 10 years’ time someone will be having a bad day at the office and sit down and click on that video and it will cheer them up. That will be her legacy.’ Maddie’s mother told.
