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

Rag-picker Sundar (center, in black), 8-9 years, 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. Sundar walks 1.5km to and from her rag-picking work each day. She goes to school from 8-12 in the morning, and studies again at the activity center after her 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
