"I like the RCC because I like being with my friends. My sister comes here too. Her name is Padamukhi. She is seven and I'm nine.

I like the volunteer and being equal. We're like brothers and sisters and not like the lower castes.

Last year was my first year at the RCC. Before that my sister and I went to the brick-kilns with our parents. Now they go on their own.

Just before our parents returned home we waited at the end of the road. We knew they were coming in May and we waited every evening for about two weeks. Then when we saw them we were so pleased we forgot to eat and sleep!
