Feb 2009 in and around Vellore, South India

In Februrary of 2009, 3 schools were selected in the Southern Indian town of Vellore to participate in a new and unique kind of competition. Unlike the type of learning the children are used to, these children were asked to come up with creative ways to make their community a better place to live in. The children in the orphanage were asked to write an essay on how to productively use a 1000 dollar gift to their school to make it a better place.
