DOTI?Dambari Sarki is so determined to continue her studies that she will do anything to earn enough money to pay her school fees and buy textbooks. Dambari, 10, works as a porter so she can only go to school 10 days in a month. Still, she manages to catch up with her class. We have no land so the children help in whatever way they can, says her 45-year-old mother. Most dalit children in Latamandu, like Dambari, are underpaid for the hard work they do. They get less than Rs 50 a day for carrying 30-45 kg of resin. Most are malnourished and often too exhausted to pay attention to their studies. Many cannot continue with their classes because the little they earn is spent on food. There are around 60-65 dalit families in this village and not one of them has passed SLC.
