I am busy on grad school applications (eesh!) but I wanted to share what is both a beautifully done, but also deeply troubling photo essay. Child labor stinks. But the conditions that lead to child labor are perhaps even worse; India does not have a great track record for protecting its children, and labor is certainly a huge factor.

Thanks for posting this, Lindsay. I wrote two final papers and gave a presentation on child labor this semester. Now thinking back to when I first read this post, I'm guessing that photo essay had something to do with my choice of topic. Have you heard from schools yet? I am just starting my applications now...
