The BBC follows where the Hiders lead!

Noticed today that the BBC are running a campaign about street kids on Banagalore train stations!! I guess they heard we were here and just wanted a slice of the action....

WClick the image to read more about a guy called Mounesh who is a "street educator" for the UK charity Every Child's partner organisation in Bangalore. A small team of street educators works from 6am to 9pm seven days a week, searching for lost children.

At least 15 new children arrive in Bangalore by train each day - they come from all over India to find work, escape ill treatment at home or simply believing a better life awaits them in the big city.
