When other children go to school, many girls in India stay home to look after younger brothers and sisters; they help with housework and in the fields. As the sun sets and their household work ends, they emerge from their houses to walk each other to school in the fading light. Electricity here is erratic at best, and so the girls go to school lit by the light of solar lanterns. All the girls who go to school here are members of an elected children's parliament - the girls run their own schools and decide what their school can be.
