Shadipur slum colony is in the middle of Delhi.These people are living in atrocious conditions,no running water,no electricity.Many are starving,sick with Leprosy and Tuberculosis,unable to afford medication.People sleeping on pieces of cardboard covered in flies.The sewers outside their hovels are filled with garbage and is also used as a toilet.There is no future for these poor children growing up here other than begging.What a world we live in when the rich can walk by and ignore this suffering.
Very touching gallery. Strong and powerful compositions. You very effectively portray the suffering and hardships of these people. I pray that your excellent work will in some way bring help to this community. V++
For the first time in human history the scientist-saint Swamy Ramalinga
Vallalar has given us a complete science of immortality and eternity in
scientific terms in all its details.
In the 1860s Charles Darwin published his "Theory of Evolution". But when
the American professor Chancey Wright asked him,what would be the next stage
in human evolution? He replied that he did not know. But Swamy Ramalinga
Vallalar answered that question positively. Not only the next stage in Human
Evolution but the final stage was also conducted his experiment in his own
body successfully and realized histeachings. He transformed his physical
body into a body of wisdom-light. The details are given in these lectures
delivered by
Thiru.R.Kuppusamy.
*Other features covered in these lectures are :*
- Can Humans eradicate the problem of world poverty and hunger?
- The enlightenment of the human body as well as the enlightenment
ofconsciousness.
- The intelligence born of love as contrasted with that born ofthought which
is nothing but matter thiugh subtle.
- Can humans ever succeed in attaining total self-sufficiency in termsof
food, breath and knowledge independently of nature?
Great and powerful images, that other people dont seem to see. Only if you go to other war torn countries. Outstanding job, hope to see more new images very soon.
Meravigliosa galleria. Immagini incredibili. Grande arte e grande passione ovunque. Grandissimo talento. VVV

Small volunteer organizations are much more cost-effective than large ones because there is no overhead and every cent goes to the benefit of the poor. Anyone who knows Birte also knows that local university students volunteer and those Indians on the post who complain or think they have better solutions - find some that do NOT go into the pockets of the wealthy who can walk by a sick or starving child. You are so defensive; why don't YOU roll-up your sleeves and get to work instead of growing fat and building McMansions. You have a wonderfulancient culture, cherish it but don't leave the poor behind and education is the best way to further empowering the poor, especially the ill-treated women in your culture. It seems they are worth NOTHING other than working them to death and/or use them as sex-objects. If you in India want to join the "civilized world" truly, cherish your women because the MEN as anyone knows are responsible for the sex of a child and for crying out loud, get the proper size of condoms Indian men so you don't sire more children than you can feed.
the indian goverment is a disgrace... they are a very rich country. we all think its a poor country, but there goverment has spent so much money on space exploration its a joke... they have the money to look after there own people... its so sad.. the rest of the world tries to help there poor....
A very powerful gallery ! What I like a lot here is that beside the poverty and harsh life of these children you not only show them as victims, but also as survivers, as the strong persons they also are ! BV
I like to give you the link to my India photos of last summerhttp://www.pbase.com/lievesnellings/india_2009 and to the Indian Women's Courthttp://www.pbase.com/lievesnellings/daughters_of_fire
I would suggest to donate the money to a reputable relief and development agency... Yes, NGO overheads can be high, but the use of funds is quite professional - they generally do well to ensure that their money is not eaten up by politicians, plus quite often they manage to address the root causes of poverty, not the symptoms.
I also believe paying $1000 for airfare and then donating $100 at site is quite inefficient use of money.
No you are quite wrong.The whole lot of the money you donate goes into the pockets of the rich in India,you may be lucky if 1 cent on the $ goes to the actual people.The only way to help is to go there yourself and buy them medicine,food,clothes,tarps and school books for the few that get to go to school.Thats what we do,and if you are young enough adopt a child from one of the many orphanages.India has some 63% of the worlds poorest people.Western businesses are flocking to India,they outsource work to India and why,because of cheap labour.These big corporations could also help these people but they don,t.I show these photos in the hope that some of you out there may decide to pay $1000 for an airfare and live in a cheap $30 hotel,take what you can spare and go do something.

It`s great work but it`s sad to see those pictures. No one wants to see a child in these living conditions. Unfortunately, this is the living conditions for all third-world contries. The one who suffers the most are the children. Seeing those pics, we all want to help them. But if we donate money, does it go to their hands??? Because in those contries, the government is so corrupted. They take everything from the citizens. So if we donate 5$, I bet 2$ will go to the foreign minister, 1$ will be taken by the political deputy, 1$ by the mayor, and 1$ by the local police office. At the end, the money that we donate serve to nourish the rich. The poor will get poorer. These poor poeple will never have a chance to touch a penny. It is a very sad reality but it's true in those countries.
