These precious kids are part of a caste system in India that is “Dalit.” They are considered the lowest in that system and are not allowed to go to traditional schools and are not treated equally. Many schools have been set up by the Dalit Freedom Network to educate and provide opportunity for the Dalits. Susanne, and a few friends, visited the school which is very near the villages where we work. Their work is amazing and we look forward to the day there are women’s programs in each of the schools for the mothers. When we visit some of the projects like this one it reminds us why we are doing what we do, and makes the long drives down desert roads worth it. I, Debbie, was busy interviewing a designer who spent a few days with us.
