I just can't resist these cute little children we see coming into school. Each group is always led in by a man who I believe must be their bus driver. Most of them come to the Frank Anthony school in little vans but the children coming to some of the other schools still ride in the little tin box trailers behind a bicycle rickshaw. Some of the little ones come in their parent's cars and others on the back of their dad's motorcycles.

I feel sorry for these little kids. They have to start school at the age of three years and they have about seventy children per class room. Right now at the Frank Anthony School, there is a lot of construction going on and so the younger grades are not allowed to go out for recess. It's really a torture for them to have to sit in those crowded class rooms all day especially in this heat with no air conditioning.

Education is a grueling ordeal here in India.
