She Saw Her Friends Eat Trash And Take Drugs, But What She’s Doing About It Is Incredible.

Balaknama is a Delhi newspaper that is breaking social conventions… but the most interesting aspect is who’s running it: teenagers.

Chandni, the Chief Editor, is a 16-year-old with a lot of drive. Using her caring heart and innovative mind, Chandni decided that Delhi’s 500,000 child laborers needed a voice. So, she brought together an incredible group of kids to make her vision come to life, and they’re asking the hard questions.

To hear the truth about what the life of a child laborer truly looks like is heart-wrenching. They’re sleeping on the ground at night and their days consist of taking drugs and salvaging trash for money.

The newspaper is going after its goals in full force without any sign of slowing down. Now Balaknama has a readership of over 10,000 across 4 states in India.

Take this video as a lesson for humility, by being grateful for what you have. Also use it as an inspiration of how making a difference requires taking intentional action… but it’s totally possible.
