I can relate to Moha's struggle a the full-time nanny whilst the sole breadwinner. I wish I could host the crew in my four bedroomed house. They need basic cushioning during this harsh times.

      I Learn efforts are being made by these organisation & reason for me to say I wonder why people are till living in shanty towns I expected the situation to have been resolved in some parts over the decades gone by but the situation remains the same. It is a heart wrenching situation for me to think about it. I do know the reasons behind these situations I only pray that it will change one day.

    However the Struggles they through re so terrible.
    Bosco's relationship with his father isn't good. Imagine your Father marrying four times. I don't know how i would perseve it if i was in his shoes.
