On my first day visiting India, I volunteered at a school for underprivileged kids. My friends and I bought the kids some educational gifts, read to 'em, and -- most of all -- even we macho guys had our hearts melt seeing how curious and excited and happy they were. Here's a sample :)

Lot of cuteness there

In which city are you? I've been teaching basic English to slum children in Benares, 2 years ago. Lots of great souvenirs!

One of the most rewarding experiences of my life was passing out toys, coloring books and clothing with a bunch of friends in Tulum, MX. The smiles on both the childrens and parents faces were priceless.

What's amazing to me is just how universal (across India) a love-of-camera has been for kids. I'm not sure if it's an issue of rarely seeing digital cameras, rarely seeing non-Indians in person, or something else... but kids in India have just gone wild (with big smiles or more) when I point my camera at them. Will share more photos later :-)

Has nothing to do with you being white - kids were all over me when I was there and had my camera out. Something magical about being able to turn it around and show them the picture.
