Writing the Future

Photographer: Prashant Bhardwaj, India

Description: This is a picture from a town called Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh, India. The picture is from a handwriting competition held in one of the centers where they teach children who once used to work as child labor in the brass industry in the city. The picture for me represents the freedom from child labor and a hope that there is a bright future ahead that comes with will and hard work and is facilitated by people who want to make a difference.
