What do we know of the helplessness of poverty? Have we ever tried a dry piece of bread dipped in water to make it edible? Or told hungry children to drink water and sleep? Or pulled a brilliant child out of school because we couldn’t afford the fees? So much pain exists, and there’s so much to be done.

Shamshad is a silent warrior.
With one arm paralyzed and a limping leg, he still walks every day, selling papads to feed his mentally ill wife and son. He never begs.
