The monalisa project began early 2003 when Australian Angela May met a young Indian woman called Jyoti (Jotee) and 10 year old Monalisa when she travelled through India. She stayed with them in their 2 roomed home. One room was a classroom for 20 of Muzaffarpur's poorest children during the day. The other room was for living. It was very cold when Angela stayed there and all three huddled together on a large upturned wooden crate to sleep.
Angela is outside this home/school with a teacher and 10 year old Monalisa. Jyoti is in the classroom with the children and also with Monalisa. Their bed has a lovely cover, but it looks cold.
