Access to Education for Snake Charmers' children in Haryana, India

Manju Devi, 15, sits in the compounds of her home in Naraina gaon, Titana village, Samalkha town, Haryana, India on 15th June 2012. Her late father was a snake charmer and her mother has gone through multiple operations to remove a tumor, so she had to drop out of school to look after her siblings and to contribute to the household income by working as a brick carrier from 8am to 5pm in construction sites for INR 25 (USD 0.45)per day.
