gypsies.


This photo is from India when we spent a day in a day care center for gypsy kids.  They are two brothers and the one on the right is named 'Santosh', which means 'joy!'  Gypsies are a rejected people group all over and in India, they live on the side of the road and kill animals for food.  When the kids start walking, they're left on their own while the parents go to the markets for the day to sell things.  This center ran a school for the little kids who are left wandering while their parents work.  I don't often get sentimental when I meet kids in other parts of the world, but the boy on the right was a really memorable little person, and this is one of my favorite photos.
