Praveen casts a spell with his sparkler-wand during 4th of July festivities at the Shanti Bhavan Residential School in Baliganapalli, Tamil Nadu, India. Praveen and close to 300 other students from the marginalized Dalit caste live at Shanti Bhavan year-round, receiving free education. Foreign volunteers, like the Americans that sponsored these festivities, supplement full-time teachers at the school.
