Some of the sponsored girls at the Saraswati Puja festival. The red mark on their forehead is a blessing from the goddess Saraswati - it's made from a mixture of rice, vermilion powder and water.
The Social Welfare Committee of JanJyoti School aims to encourage girls education by sponsoring girls to attend school and by providing skills and income generating training for family members of the sponsored girls. As of Dec 2006, 41 girls are being sponsored, from class 1 to class 8.
