Low Incomes Become No Incomes
Many of our pupils and their mothers earn a precarious seasonal living by carrying lanterns to light the evening wedding processions which are very common during the wedding season. None of the families have had any work, as there have been no wedding processions or tourists in Pushkar for more than a year now. Most of our families rely upon tourism and the wedding season for what is, at best, only a very meagre income. All have relied upon the food aid programmes which we have helped to provide.
