In Dharamsala, India, Suraj, 10, waits as rice is passed out in a tent school at the Charan Slum Settlement funded by the Tong-Len Charitable Trust. If not for this daily ritual many of the children would go hungry. Tong-Len's primary and nursery tuition tent schools operate every weekday within the Charan slum camp. These provide free accessible education to children who could not otherwise go to school because of lack of money or work and family commitments. Classes are taught by Indian teachers with help from volunteers.
