A Drop of Light: How a School Under the Trees Broke Down Barriers to Educating Underprivileged Children

A Drop of Light shares the inspiring, uplifting, and heartwarming story of the PrakashDeep School in Faridabad, India. Arriving barefoot and in tatters, most of the underprivileged children of PrakashDeep have spent their young lives working menial jobs to supplement their family income. Here, they regain the joys of childhood-with access to food, clothing, and high-quality education-for free.

PrakashDeep's innovative and easily replicable educational model showcases how one elderly woman's  determination and simple actions have snowballed into a community wide movement that is transforming the trajectory of thousands of lives.

Through her vivid and touching chronicle, Dr. Savita Datt highlights the steps needed to break barriers to educating underprivileged children.  A Drop of Light illuminates that it's easier than we think to make a difference-to mobilize our communities to level the playing field between the haves and the have-nots-with just the initial investment of a bit of time and love.
