this is a great picture! totally inspiring :)

What beautiful pictures and beautiful people. God bless these workers and their activities!

Having seen the movie and awakened to the slums of Mumbai, it is encouraging to see that the children/teens are now given critical information that will hopefully radically change their lives and destiny.
