A city walk with an ex-street kid
The Salaam Baalak Trust City Walk is an English guided tour conducted by kids who used to live in the streets of Delhi . The Walk gets the children's stories heard and gives you a view of their world through their eyes. The Trust finds children 5-18 living on the streets and helps find their families while giving them an education and a place to stay. Our inspiring guide Junaid, seen here with two of the children, won a scholarship from the Uni of Central Queensland to continue his education. This program is supported by Save the Children. www.salaambaalaktrust.com

A smoke-free city
Shimla, which used to be the Summer capital in British India, is a smoke-free city- the 4th in India. Many cities now have bans on smoking in selected areas --it's great to see it enforced for the whole city and a surprise to see it in India.

A daily ceremony that unites India and Pakistan
India and Pakistan have had a long history of conflict however it?s heart-warming to know that every night, just for a brief time, both countries are unified. A visit to the Wagha border near Amritsar India is a fascinating experience with a ceremony before sundown that the forces of India and Pakistan have jointly followed since 1959.. The ceremony is characterized by dance-like marches to loud music and ends in the perfectly coordinated lowering of the two nations' flags.

Trucks not allowed in the city in daytime
We arrived in Delhi late at night and noticed there were many trucks around us on the drive to the city. Our driver told us that's because they're not allowed in Delhi during the day.
