Planning to travel to India? You can visit with wonderfully funny and intelligent street children who will gladly be your guides to Madras, India. India is a strange and fascinating place full of unusual sights and sounds. To see the India, you need a guide... someone who is will share their lives with you and show you the real India. Street children make excellent guides. If you spend some time with them, you will learn all about their lives, their families, and the customs of India. About one and a half million people live on the streets in the city of Madras, India (also know as Chennai). They live very normal lives. They work, go to school, cook food, bathe and wash their cloths just like everyone else. Their lives are open to anyone who passes by. And their kids are a good way to get to know them... and India. So please don't miss the opportunity to experience the real India. |
This web site is written by Robert Purser who has
lived with these children and their families. |
