Update: On Other Kids From Born into Brothels

So, I already informed you that Puja, one of the kids from the film Born into Brothels, returned to the sex trade after the movie in an earlier post. But I wanted to find out some more information on the other children. So I found this update on kids with cameras, one of the official sites associated with the film, and lets just say that this update which is dated November 2006 is a much happier one!

1. Avijit- Is a junior at private school in Salt Lake City.
2. Manik- Is starting his second year at Future Hope, a private school in Calcutta, India that is almost impossible for brothel children to get into. He still flys kites.
3. Shanti- She also attends Future Hope.
4. Tapasi- Attends a local school and her sister still stays at the Sabera Foundation.
5. Suchitra- Lives at home and works for a greeting card manufacturer.
6. Kochi- Is finishing up her education at the Sabera Foundation and hopes to move to the U.S. to continue her studies.
