"I study hard because otherwise I will, like my father, end up earning only Rs. 6,000 after staking your #dignity. I respect my father, he gives me everything. But I want him to come out of this vicious circle,”says 14 yr old Kaushalya whose father is a sweeper in #Madurai. 
She is one of 40 students in a free tuition centre run for children of manual scavangers & #sanitation workers in Madurai's oldest slum where they are encouraged & inspired by their teacher, 33 yr old Kalpana, to never think of doing their parents’ job.ruralindiaonline.org/articles/a-tui…
