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

Mamta (standing, in pink), age unknown, leads the class in learning basic numerics in the Nai Duniya activity center in remote Lodha Basti, Manana village, Samalkha town, Haryana, India on 15th June 2012. Most of these children work as rag-pickers. They go to school from 8-12 in the morning, and study again at the activity center after work at 4pm. A new program to encourage the rag-picker's children to attend school is underway, to keep them from becoming the next generation of rag-pickers in cities. Photo by Suzanne Lee for The National
