Bachpan ko nigal raha ye dhuwan.

Sunaina was just a normal 13-year-old girl living in a Lucknow slum. She was an avid student and loved going to school every day. However, her life changed drastically after the death of her father 2-3 years ago. Her father's death left her mother to work on daily wages to feed themselves, which drastically changed their lives. Sunaina was forced to drop out of school to help her mother and support their family. They were barely making ends meet, and every penny counted. Sunaina's life took a turn for the worse when she started consuming gutkha, a cheap and highly addictive substance that is very common in slums like hers. Gutkha is a combination of betel nut, tobacco, and other ingredients, which are rolled into a small packet and consumed orally. The substance is highly addictive and can cause severe health problems, including cancer. One day, a team member from Dr. Abdul Kalam Education Society, an organization that helped Sunaina and her family, noticed that Sunaina was eating gutkha. The team member was shocked and immediately stopped her from consuming it. They explained to her that this addiction was dangerous and that the money her mother used to give her should be used to help their family. However, the addiction was so severe that Sunaina could not stop consuming it. She would use the money that was meant for food and other necessities to buy gutkha.

The team member from the organization tried to find out where Sunaina had picked up this addiction. It was then revealed that her mother used to leave her with some people to take care of her while she went to work. The elders in that household would consume drugs, and their children would consume gutkha after watching them. Sunaina had picked up the habit from them. The situation troubled every team member from the organization. They donated some money and took Sunaina to the doctor, where she received counseling and medication to help her quit the addiction. The medicine and counseling worked, and Sunaina was finally able to overcome her addiction. Sunaina's story is not unique. Many children in slums across India fall prey to addiction due to their living conditions. Poverty, lack of education, and exposure to negative influences make them vulnerable to addiction and other harmful habits. To address this issue, the organization started a project named "Bachpan ko bachao dhuwe me na udao," which means "Save childhood, don't blow it away in smoke." The project aims to make such children drug-free and provide them with a healthy life. The project will help prevent them from blowing away their childhood in smoke and ensure that they have a bright future. Sunaina's story is just one of many. There are countless other children like her who are struggling to survive in poverty-stricken areas.
