Child
Labour goes to school
Aloor
is a quite village in Chevella Mandal, Rangareddy
district of Andhra Pradesh. Quite is the vicinity
of child care camp run by MV Foundation here.
Stood at a lonely road, one would barely notice
any activity around the camp. Jayshree, however,
is an exception. And such exceptions are many
in this camp. Jayshree moves, her feet moves in
rhythm as she caresses a dream of becoming a dancer
one day. Within the beat of her thirteen year
old heart, her past seems to be a distant, a foregone
entity. She forgets of being an orphan & working
as a child labor before rescued by the staff of
MV Foundation. Now she studies in 7th standard
here & performs reasonably well in studies,
besides dancing in her spare time. As her teachers
notice, she has wonderful ability to learn dance
steps from TV programs within minutes. Significantly,
the camp has access only to DD national network
& camp rules allow her to watch TV only on
Sundays.
