The parents in Gandaman village in India's Bihar state are poor and illiterate but like parents anywhere they dream of a better life for their children.
As they toil in the fields, living hand to mouth, they send their kids to school in the hope they will find a path out of the grinding poverty and deprivation. But one shocking day in July, going to school cost 23 children their lives.
- The students, none older than 10, died after eating their school lunch, a meal provided under a nationwide government programme to 120 million children every school day.
