Ajronda Mod, Faridabad 16th Oct 2007
The Republic of India is the seventh largest and second most populous country in the world. With acceleration in economic growth, India has become one of the fastest growing developing countries. This has created a rift between poor and rich; 22 per cent of the population lives below the income poverty line. Due to unemployment, increasing rural-urban migration, attraction of city life and a lack of political will India now has one largest number of child laborers in the world.
Street children are subject to malnutrition, hunger, health problems, substance abuse, theft, CSE, harassment by the city police and railway authorities, as well as physical and sexual abuse. Though Government of India has taken some corrective measures and declared child labor as illegal.
Child’s Grave

There was a geocache in Evergreen Cemetery. The cache was hidden in a historical marker that happened to be near the children’s section of the cemetery. I was drawn to these graves because they were so colorful. They had balloons, flowers, toys, figurines, wind mills, dolls, baby bottles… so many mementos from their family that still mourn their loss every day.
