A little Indian girl died in the UAE on Oct. 7 . She slept on the bus while going to school .She was forgotten there ."It is not my
mistake says the driver " I was not even allowed to talk to the pupils " True that there was a supervisor on board . She
failed to check as well - to do this one minute job ...it was right after Eid .. said the receptionist whose job would
have been to check if all the kids who entered the bus arrived at school ....so many kids were absent - I realized only
late that there is a girl missing ...one minute job ..which make the difference between life and death ....she is not the
first little student forgotten .. it happened to Sarah Gazdhar in Doha some years ago and there were other kids ...my kid
was one of them -she was lucky -she could open a window and scream for help - and such things are happening over and over
again because the safety of kids of cheaper schools is not a priority ...principals can hire from the street a driver/ a bus supervisor and the authorities overlook those flaws ...

Sarah Gazdhar , the four year old , the one who was forgotten on the school bus was burried in Doha.We just feel so bad and helpless . We adopted her into our heart . It feels a little bit as she was our child .
Many people keep asking why did it happen .So do I .
Answer number one : it can be that drivers or bus supervisors simply do not understand that locking someone into a bus or car in this heat can be very quickly fatal . They should be educated by videos to make them understand how dangerous it is.
IN this video one can see how quickly temperature rises inside the car . it is 27 C outside and after one hour it is over 50 C .
One can imagine how it is when the outside temperature is over 40 C . Plus children 's body get hot much faster than adult's .
In fact - it is so big danger around here that some minutes is enough and kids are baked inside a locked vehicle .
The danger is so big in the heat of Qatar that a system should be done to be sure that no one will be left there .
My child had attended a small nursery with 70 children and one bus . The place was not perfect but the principal took this issue very seriously . She did not trust the life of kids on untrained drivers and helpers . Every day she checked the bus personally at arriving and at leaving . She registered personally who arrived and who left .
With big schools this system does not work .Still there are other ideas to use .
