the captive audience...

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
In a village in north Andhra Pradesh, near Bhadrachalam. This was a special day, there were visitors, the teacher was not talking much, instead the person accompanying me was telling captivating stories that only the most distracted (in the front, the ones sitting inside the circles drawn on the floor with chalk as a sort of derision) did not follow - even the one on the right was listening at that moment.
... =>1 classroom with 2 verandas on each side, a big playground all around, 5 classes, 31 girls and 22 boys (more girls than boys : many boys having been sent to government boarding schools with free food and lodging). 1 teacher, one aid paid by the state government and another one paid by the NGO which helps financing the education of the poorest. Free lunches being distributed, paid by the government. 12 of those children are from a neighbouring village and walk each day two times one hour to reach the school, one of the helpers is walking with them as he lives in that village too.

Dear Cath,
Kids from the class...
Villages in India has many dimensions of life.. The one who witnesses this can understand their life... and that's beyond words...
A classic portrayal...

cette concentration de tant de regards captivés dans la même direction, c'est une chouette photo, il n'y a que celui tout devant qui s'occupe plus de ce qu'il y a par terre que de se qui se passe devant lui... un bel instant avec toutes ces frimousses aux expressions (pour la plupart) amusées ou hypnotisées :)
amicalement
