"Never doubt that a small
group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is
the only thing that ever has."
 
 
Get
your school to fundraise for an ActionAid project in India!
Sonu
and his family are homeless and live under a bridge in
Delhi. During the summer Sonu works as a rag picker picking
up and selling empty bottles. He carries the bottles in
a bag as big as himself on his back and the weight of
the bottles mean his back always hurts at night. In the
winter, people drink less and there are fewer bottles,
so he is forced to beg. He gives the little money he gets
to his parents to help feed his younger brother and sisters,
keeping only enough for a bus fare and bread for breakfast.
Sonu was brought to a night shelter three years ago. Here
he has a safe place to sleep at night and dinner to eat.
