The most common place to find children is in the school or in the playground. But in Indonesia you will see children everywhere; by the traffic light, on the sidewalk, in the bus station, in the market, etc.
Some selling newspapers or confectionary and drinks to passing traffic in the heat of the sun to supplement a family income by a few Rupiah.
Some carry around a simple instrument and busk in a restaurant or public bus until you give them some coins. Some are simply just begging.

When you go to the rural areas, it is not an uncommon view to see children helping their parents working in the paddy field.Indonesia is a developing country, 27% of its population below the national poverty line. Not all families can afford to send their children to school, some even struggle to provide the very basic needs to survive.
The unemployment rate is very high, but unlike in some developed countries there is no unemployment benefit nor child benefit or free health care for children, everything has to be paid for including for going to school. So, please help us to help them.
