Moni came to us in September 2014 after being abandoned by her family. She was very distressed for a long time, but is now settling and is enrolled in school.
Arvind, the driver, takes Moni and the other girls to REACH in our vehicle and they, of course, demand that the music is played loud.
You can see how happy Moni is in these photos and you can follow her story here:

shuktara - Prity on Holi

Holi at Lula Bari – the festival of colours

Holi was celebrated much more vigorously in Lula Bari, our girls home, than it was by the boys here in Kolkata.

Maybe as they grow older, the boys are not quite so interested, but the girls had a great day.

shuktara - Muniya

Abandoned almost a year ago now Muniya’s home is with shuktara.

Just over a year ago Muniya, like many other children with disabilities, was abandoned by her mother and left alone on the street. Some, like her, are lucky enough to find safety in places like shuktara! This photo was taken today by Pappu Mishra (Chairman of shuktara) in Lula Bari, our girls house. It is the place that Muniya now knows as her own home and we will never abandon her.
