Throughout some of the most remote tribal villages in India, over 600 children are in dire need of food, shelter and transportation to medical assistance. The dishonorable living conditions of so many forgotten people here are difficult to imagine in our modern day. Trapped in a world where resources seem to exist only for the elite, the children carry on with dignity despite extreme circumstances:
- Only seeing their parents once a month due to them working at a distant factory
- Eating a small portion of rice and lentils on the dirt floor every day of their lives
- "Roaming with the cows" as coined by the locals - roaming the woods collecting firewood and anything of value
- Sleeping and studying in an overly crowded dormitory
- Lacking the basic food and medicine needs of every child due to limited transportation and being hundreds of miles of unpaved roads away from the nearest hospital
While I am humbled by the strength and fortitude of these children, they cannot go on without our intervention!
