But for some people, they will need to leave their country sometimes for a short time, but sometimes forever.

This book invites the readers towards a special mission and commitment to the needy and the neglected. Presently the opportunities that are available for the rich are not accessible to the poor. In spite of hard work, the poor people are unable to improve their life due to several factors: under employment, low payment, delayed payments, exploitations with excess working hours, lack of security measures, no incentives, lack of family welfare measures, unsafe environment of jobs, lack of medical support to the migrant workers, lack of education of the children, unjust retirement benefits, accidents related concerns etc. While migrants are not organized to raise their voices in many situations, every person in the society individually and collectively has a duty to stand for the rights of the migrants and their families.
