India with 22% of its population below its official poverty limit these kids have so much to teach. Living in dreadful conditions in slum areas they manage to keep up their spirits. Every street,corner,person here has a story to tell. Poor hygienic conditions make life miserable for those who live in the slums and footpaths of India.About one third of Indian children suffer from lung problems due to pollution and unsafe living.This is about kids or even infants at the busy crossings selling masks and have learnt to live behind these facades.They have lost their identity, their childhood.
