On Thursday we had the opportunity to visit with Door Step and some of their schools. Door Step's belief is that every child deserves the right to education, no matter where they live or what their home life might be like. Door Step has several locations and schools in Pune including a tutoring center, a school for migrant construction workers' children who are living in the slums, and a school located on a school bus that drives around to slums to teach children. It was an amazing day, but it was hard to see the circumstances the children were in and the environments they lived in.
We all brought school supplies and backpacks for the students.

I asked these students if I could take their picture. They didn't understand me
until I pulled out the camera and then they got really excited. After I took it I
asked if they wanted to see it and I showed them their picture. Their smiles got
even bigger and brighter then they already were. So cute!

The students all stood up and said Namaste!
