The Problem

India is a developing nation and poverty is rampant here with children forced into working as domestic help washing cooking, cleaning,with very few rights.As a student I started a project 'EACH ONE TEACH ONE'taking three children under my care to start their basic education,which includes alphabets in Hindi and a little math.I also realised that children never introduced to learning find it tiresome to concentrate so I added another dimension to my project by starting a 'SPARE AND SHARE PROJECT' which means that I deprive myself an egg or a chapatti or a cupful of lentils and feed the student under my care. This gives her an incentive to come everyday. I also collect my old clothes and give them to her as a token of appreciation for a lesson well learnt.
