This is the community where the MS Foundation is situated, here the people do not have proper housing and there is no proper food for them to survive.
This is not a good place for a family with many children and it is difficult to keep them clean and healthy.
This is a community nursery. The mothers have gone to work as coolies - carrying baskets of bricks or sand or sacks of cement on a building site.
The girl should be in school but she must work for a few rupees to help her family.
This girl is also a child worker. She just came back from work and is having her lunch. After eating her lunch she has to go back to her work .
She is about 12 years so she cannot do heavy work - perhaps making dolls and toys for children in other countries to play with.
The mother went mad and her four small children won't get food from her. Even the Father won't look after these children.
They do not even have clean clothes to wear. So Lavanya is taking them to be educated and have good clothes.
This is a pond shore, where every woman come to this place to wash their clothes and many of these are less than 15 years old and should be in school.
And they even bathe and wash in that water. It is not hygienic.
This is the area of the community where we have rocks on the road.
There is no proper road in this area because it stops where we are, as you can see on the map.
