so these are the children

sweet and innocent

most of them come form bihar

a region in the north of india, close to the border of nepal

 the police doesn't really operate there and arranged marriage with young girls are common as the sunrise

they are sisters, brothers and cousins

all still have their parents but they can't afford the education, food, clothes,...

I already love them toooo much !

one more week then I have to say goodbye to them.
