Smiling Angels: Hoping For a Bright Future

Some snapshots from my first visit to two of the three tent schools supported by Read India foundation....it's amazing to see these children smile and take each day as it comes.... I hope that's how it will remain for a very long time to come... it is after all our duty as a responsible society to prepare these children for a bright future....i hope we do not fail them!!!!
