At the Rural Development Foundation’s primary school in Kalleda, a small village in the Warangal District of Andhra Pradesh, India, students carry gardening tools, along with their notebooks and pencils. All of the students work in the school’s garden, cultivating and harvesting rice, lentils, corn and cotton that is used to make the daily meals or sold to the village and to other schools. Students also take turns tending a field of marigolds and selling them in Kalleda. All of the profit goes back to the school. And the students carry another important tool – a camera. Cameras were provided by Bridges to Understanding (Bridges), a Seattle-based non-profit that uses digital technology to empower and connect children around the world.
