Laxmi Soren
Laxmi's grandfather suffers from leprosy; the stigma of his disease affects the entire family. Laxmi's father, Suresh, sells rope he makes from tall jungle grasses for about $20 per month and their family dwelling is a mud and tin roof hut. He can't provide sufficient food, clothing and schooling for Laxmi. Now with us, she is free to live without prejudice. Laxmi currently dreams of becoming a teacher one day.
