Every morning, children from nearby slums arrive in small groups,
barefoot and carrying mats and brooms and start cleaning a portion
of a land under a metro rail bridge, which will be their school for
the rest of the morning. Rajesh Kumar Sharma, along with his
friend, founded the free school for underprivileged children under
a metro bridge a year ago. He teaches at least 45 children every
day. Sharma, a 40-year-old father of three from Uttar Pradesh,
Indias most populous state, was forced to drop out of college in
his third year due to financial difficulties. He didnt wantother
children to face the same difficulties, so he decided to start the
free school. He persuaded local laborers and farmers to allow their
children to attend his school instead of working to add to the
family income. Heprepares these children for admission to
government schools and hopes to equip them with the tools necessary
to overcome their poverty. Millions of dollars are given to fund
the education of poor children in India, howeverit often doesnt
reach them because of corruption and arduous 56 administrative
procedures.February 16, 2013

anti-gang police unit searches for gang members. Many in El
Salvador remain skeptical that the truce will stick, noting that
young men in poor neighborhoods lack alternatives and there is
noeasy way to lure them off the streets.They had faced off many
times before, on the streets, with guns in their hands. But when
top leaders of two of the hemispheres most violent street gangs sat
across from one another in the stifling63air of a maximum security
prison, the encounter had a very different aim: peace. With a
military chaplain and a former lawmaker officiating, the imprisoned
gang leaders held a moment of silencefor the thousands of people
their street armies had killed. After a few more meetings and the
governments concession to transfer 30 of the leaders to
less-restrictive conditions they shookhands on a pact to put an end
to the killings. The truce endures in El Salvador, long one of the
most violent countries in the Americas. With 30,000 to 50,000
members and weaponry that includesFebruary 16, 2013assault-style
rifles and grenades, the two gangs are virtual armies that have the
power to affect the security of the entire region and they have
used it to terrorize populations still weary fromyears of civil war
