More pictures from the Vagholi centre for the dumb and deaf
This girl is called Priya. She was found living with an old beggar on the roads, next to a temple in Pune. The trustees at vagholi convinced the beggar to allow them to take the child away to the centre, to have a shot at a better life. The beggar died a few months later. She recited a poignant poem for us. She is too young to go to school.
A picture of some more kids at vagholi. The kid in the centre of the snap, Shyam, is dumb and deaf and communicated to us in sign language, which the other kids excitedly translated for us. I learnt a little bit of sign language.
