Photo by @ljohnphoto for @rippleeffectimages. Kajal appeared as a child in height and weight, but this slender 12 year old with blue rag ribbons in her hair had seen, smelled and survived more than most adults. She had worked the pile of garbage since she was 8. At the age of 12, she earned about 200-300 rupees ($2.90-$4.36USD) a day. In the years she had labored at the pile, she had found a pair of gold earrings, a 500 rupee note, and a dead woman with a knife in her stomach.
Determined to reinvent herself, Kajal’s dream was to continue her education, a dream which was nurtured by the learning centers of @Chintan.India. They provided her more than knowledge - she built the confidence to believe in herself. She left her family to escape arranged marriage and today is happily married with a son of her own. She spends each evenings teaching Hindi and English to children in her neighborhood, passing on the knowledge she gained from Chintan.
