1.      Soma kifungu cha habari kifuatacho kisha jibu maswali yanayofuata.

      Miaka ya hivi karibuni kumetokea ajali nyingi hapa duniani. Wengi tumesikia taarfa za ajali mbalimbali kutoka katika vyombo vya habari na baadhi yetu tumeshuhudia kwa macho yetu. Kila aliye sikia au kuona ajali hizo alivaa uso wa huzuni. Kwani nyingi zilikua za kutisha mno, wapo watu walio katika miguu, mikono  masikio na hata kunyofolewa macho na viungo vingine vya mwili. Ukiachilia mbali majeruhi na wale walionusurika, wapo Ndugu na marafiki zetu waliopotezxa maisha. Wengi tulipata machungu yaliokithiri, tulilia na kuwalaani wote tuliofikiria ndio waliosabaisha ajali hizo.

      Waliokufa katika ajali hizoni wadogowadogo watu wazima na hata vikongwe wanawake kwa wanaume. Kama ilivyo desturi kifo hakibagui na huvuna roho za watu wa umri na jinsia zote. Wazazi wengi wanaofariki katika ajali hizi huacha watoto ambao hawamo katika utaratibu wa kuendelea kielimu. Badala wanaingia katika kujitaftia ririki badala ya kujisomea. Watot wengi hufanya kazi ya kubeba mizigo, uvuvi kuchimba madini na migodibiashsara ndogondogo na hata kazi za nyumbani.

        Watoto hao walioachwa hukumbwa na matatizo mengi wafanyapo kazi katika sehemu hizo.kwakua wengi wao hawana upeo mkubwa wa mambo, hujikuta wakifanya kazi bila kufuata kanuni zaafya. Hali hiyo husababisha magonjwa kama kifua kikuu na hata kupata ajali mbaya, wafanyapo kazi migodini, ambazo zinaweza kusababish akifo au vilema vya maisha. Wengi huingizwa kwenye bishara za ukahaba na kupata mimba zisizitarajiwa tena katika umri mdogo. Wengine huambikzwa magonjwa kama UKIMWI.
