I thought this was a rather touching story: quote: "This is a community school, run by us. There is no government role here," she says as she assists a young girl with her sums. "I teach them everything - how to read and write Tamil, how to count - all that I know." "It is very important for our community to be literate. Because we were uneducated, we were exploited," says Rajamani. "I don't know how to read and write. But I want a better life for my children."
Here's the link to the full story.
