When Emma Grewal, age eleven, and Abi Grewal, age nine, moved all the way from Sydney, Australia, to Bombay (Mumbai), India, about two years ago, they knew that things in their new city would be different. They'd been to India before to visit their grandmother. But during those visits, they hadn't seen much of the city.

So you see, even though I'd visited India before we moved, I never really had to deal with the kinds of things we were seeing every day. And the things we were seeing sometimes made us sad."
Emma and Abi wanted to help. But what could they do?
