9-yr-old runs free library for slums kids in Bhopal...

Nine-year-old Muskaan Ahirwar, a little girl who lives in the Arera Hills slums in Bhopal, is an inspiration to children, and even adults everywhere.

The little girl has come into the limelight recently for a free library she runs for underprivileged children who have an interest in reading and learning.

At a young age, where most children are happy playing in the dirt, Muskaan has dedicated herself to a higher purpose, that of bettering herself and other children for life in the future.

The third-standard student has founded a free library outside her home in Bhopal, and works as a librarian everyday, offering other slum children both books to bury themselves in as well as a place to read in comfort.

A video by Al Jazeera says the girl believes children who want to learn should have a way to do that on their own, without having to rely on school work. Full story...
