Sonali's grandparents suffer from leprosy; the stigma of their disease, although treatable, affects the entire family. Her father, Pulin, does road making labor for about $21 per month; their family dwelling is a mud and tin roof hut. He can't provide food, clothing and schooling for Sonali. Now with us, she is free to live and study without prejudice and is currently dreaming of becoming a teacher when she grows up.
