Indian families from the neglected state of Assam travel 12 hours on rickety buses through rut strewn streets ISO of hope.
Their hope is to be seen by an Operation Smile medical team for a surgical repair of a cleft lip, palate, or some other facial deformity.
The contrast between abject poverty and sartorial beauty is striking. Against a backdrop of garbage laden streets emerges a line of women wrapped in colorful saris.
There is something about the drape of the luxe fabric that exudes grace. With postures reminiscent of runway models these women of all ages saunter through the system with patience and dignity.
