(2015) Poonam's Tale of Hope in Bhopal - India

Jyoti, 14, (left) and her younger sister Poonam, 13, (right) are praying before starting lessons inside a classroom of the cozy, private school they regularly attend since 2011, located close to their newly built home in Oriya Basti, one of the water-contaminated colonies in Bhopal, central India, near the abandoned Union Carbide (now DOW Chemical) industrial complex, site of the infamous '1984 Gas Disaster'. The two girls are studying in Year 6, out of 12, in 2015-16.
