just outside our compound lives a family that are workers on a house that's being built
I see the kids every day...
taking care of the smallest one, swinging in a piece of cloth in a tree,
or just doing nothing...
one day when they where out swinging I walked over with my driver to talk to them
it's Anitha and Sunitha....a little shy at first...
then Anitha wanted me to meet her younger sister who just woke up....
her name is Lakshmi...
Anitha was so proud of her younger sister....
this is their home...
they spend their days around this spot...
they don't go to school...even though there are government founded schools (like Sankalp welfare foundation)that are free and where they get uniforms and a free meal a day plus some education..
still so many of the children don't get to go...they need to help out or work or just don't get to go...
these children live a very different life than what we are used to...
when I see them I do wonder if they have eaten ?
did they do something fun today ?
when winter comes will they have enough clothes and shoes ?
will they ever be able to read ?
it must be a very hard life
and sometimes it's tough to be a bystander
