DEAR TEAM: Something I Can Never Unsee
There are some things that once you see, you can never again…not see. The more dramatic or horrific, the more indelible the impression it makes on you. Last week gave me one of those things that I just can’t stop seeing. …

Hungry Six-Year-Old Sells Scavenged Cell Phone Cases, Hoping to Eat Breakfast
His red checked uniform shirt with blue stripes caught the eye of ITMI’s Taru Kumar as she walked one of the narrow alleys of the slum in Bangalore. It was the shirt all her students wear to attend her school, Deepam primary school.
