    Some household... Running water, cozy shelter, private gallery - might mean different to you! by: gargisarkar Views[514] Smiles and hope - A group of Kashmiri migrant workers smiles at the camera. The ongoing militancy and daily clashes in Kashmir have made lives of local people very tough and cut the employment to nil. So, Kashmiris now have to migrate to other parts of India in search of odd jobs. Some bring with them woollen items and dry fruits and sell them in small towns and others, who don't have anything to offer, just resort to plain hard labour. With the hope that one day their homeland shall be peaceful and they shall return... by: mirror Views[915] There is hope in the eyes and smiles of the children of Uganda. They are eager to learn and driven by curiosity. There is joy found in the simplest of moments and a sense of community that isn't often seen in more developed countries.

Both private and public schools are in need of financial support to give their kids the best chance at an education. This school near Jinja was a private school that met us with an infectious curiosity, open arms, lively song, and inspiring dance. Their hope is inspire visitors to believe in them and support the future of their education. A majority of the kids at this school are orphans with little or no financial support. The teachers and community are their hope at a better future. by: audreyjeane Views[1424] In one of the small homes that consist of two rooms with dirt floors, the newly made jewelry hangs to be dried.

    Many women in Uganda ( like the one pictured here) are creating a hopeful future for their children by making and selling necklaces to pay for a better education. Women make less than $10 a month and a good education can cost up to $350 a year. Women in this village have a partnership with a US based charity called BOH to help sell their products in the USA. The program is empowering women to sustain a business that not only supports their children's education but supports their needs as a family. by: audreyjeane Views[811]
