Tens of thousands of children live on the streets and in the public spaces of Delhi, the capital of India. A few hundred of them come within the orbit of Butterflies, an organization determined to equip for them for a better life. Butterflies gives homeless boys shelter from the elements, protection from violence and a chance to get an education that has been denied to them. And in this developing economic superpower, the street boys are encouraged to become financially independent. Some of them are even given the opportunity to become a bank manager.
