I have been to visit the Salaam Baalak Trust today here in Delhi.
The trust works with street children who live and work in and around New Delhi Station.
They provide children with support through the provision of shelter, food, medical assistance and education. Where possible they also work to try and get children back to their families.
Our guide was 21 year old man called Shekar, formally a street child he guided us around New Delhi Station as well as the back allies of Delhi explaining some of the problems and challenges facing kids here.
Shekar also took us to visit two hostels for boys to see for ourselves the impact of the work.
I am planning to meet up with Shekar again later in the week to see a girls hostel on the outskirts of Delhi.
I am also currently trying to set up a visit to a charity working within the slums of Delhi.
