This included being an office assistant, a hotel receptionist, salesman in private companies, to even working at shipping firms.
While working in these various industries, he encountered the plight of street children. “As someone who has personally experienced apathy and discrimination while dealing with people in public offices and in social circles, I realised that our society does not care for the needs of people who are struggling.
