Here is another blog worth checking out.

I worked with this organization for a short time while in Mumbai in 2006.
I learned a lot about what people there are trying to do for child rights and also the rights of people in general. It amazed me to learn that many people still live under old world caste system presumptions. CRY goes out and empowers people, gets kids back into school, makes people aware of options alternative to child labour.

I was also given a fantastic book published by a member of CRY called 'Midway Station'. This book tells the stories of many street youth who have been forcefully detained by police and civil society in order to 're-habilitate' them with 'worthy' and 'employable' skills. It's a good read and definitely eye-opening.
