Wise words in India teach thousands in the slums

Thousands of children gather in the slums of India to learn to read and write. The teachers are volunteers, many of whom only a few years before were struggling to get an education themselves.

Teachers and pupils are part of a project called ‘Read India’ started by Madhav Chavan, a chemical engineer who has been inspired to bring education to the underprivileged of the subcontinent.
