Uday says he sells about 70 pieces of ice-cream a day, he earns money compared to other things he can do. He adds that he earns between Y.R 2,000 to 3,000 per a day, and hands them over to his father.

Uday hopes to open a big project in the future. The 13-year-old, Uday,  says he has no choice but to work for profit. He says living in rough mountainous areas could not earn the family's sustenance, and therefore it is compensated it in our work in other cities.

This sixth-grade boy is part of a three-family working in a team consisting of his father, brother and uncle. The members of the team are divided into city corridors to work independently.

"He is not interested in anything that is going on in the country but how to convince customers to buy what he has and return at noon with the profits he earned, describing his age as small, which does not allow him to follow the public events in the country."
