Children of India

The children of India are beautiful. They ones I saw have gorgeous dark skin and hair. Their eyes stand out so distinctly. The girls are dressed in the most beautiful sarees. The colors of the sarees contrast perfectly with their skin. The village children are always smiling, even though they are so poor.

Schools in India are all private. That is why you see the children wearing uniforms. A bill has just been proposed to Indian government for public schools. We will see if this passes or not. Even if it does, 80% of India lives in the rural villages where (piped) running water doesn't reach-how in the world is the government going to reach their towns with education? It seems like an impossible task but absolutely worth striving for.
