CAPTION: For many years, Mantesh - who has a learning disability - would hardly communicate with other children or even with his parents. His mother Roopa supports him with his Individual Education Plan (IEP), which includes his attendance at his local After-School Club (ASC). This is very important in developing his self-belief. Just ensuring he attends regularly is a challenge, so it helps if his mother drops him there directly herself, and then meets him once the session is over. LOCATION: Mallianpura (village), Kasaba (hobli), Chamrajnagar (district), Karnataka (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: Roopa (left) and Mantesh (right).
