Street children lead a miserable life out there. The government cannot do much about it, and I won't repeat such rhetoric excuses like corruption problems as one of the causes nor put blame much on the regime.
Street singers include children--that's too bad! From thoroughfares of Sudirman-Thamrin to the traffic lights of Pancoran intersection, these poor kids make a living in wild traffics of Jakarta. The mobile street children skip school. This might happen for those already ingrained in the street and think nothing of education if they are to put to school. The rest are totally poor and have to survive.
The boys you see here are the ones coming from the opposite condition. They are school children got by camera candidly, and by the time I passed by the street watching them, there's a leader managing the other, not sure of what they're doing there. But, surely that's positive as I could hear some direction. Maybe, it's a school task. It's part of learning process which we get anywhere besides formal school, right?
