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

Sundar (center, in black), 8-9 years, sits amongst other rag-picker's children in class 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. Most of these children are rag-pickers themselves. They are now able to 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
