Educating the poor is more than just a numbers game, says Shukla Bose, the founder and head of the Parikrma Humanity Foundation, a nonprofit that runs four extraordinary schools for poor children which brings hope to India's slums by looking past the daunting statistics and focusing on treating each child as an individual.
Ms Bose's talk, during TED India in Mysore last year, is punctuated with stories from the children of these schools speaking in such perfect English that it can easily put us to shame :-)
You can choose to sponsor one such child's primary education for Rs. 13,500 or choose other ways of supporting Parikrma Humanity Foundation
