migrant children

"These parents, who are migrant labourers, don't have a safe place to leave their children. Although I cannot guarantee all of them will go to formal schools, but I can guarantee their care for those four hours in a day, feeding, educating and even getting them fresh pairs of clothes."

The city's rich entrepreneurial tradition has attracted a large number of migrants. But what about their kids?

Padmaja Ramamurthy has taught in both government and private schools during the course of a long career. But nothing compares to the work she is doing at the APSA Dream School, Bengaluru.

Can you imagine a 50 paisa postcard being used as a channel to rebuild the life of a migrant child? Yes, in this era of internet and e-mail, an NGO is using snail mail to help reintegrate migrant children in their old schools when they return to their villages.
