Neha Kirpal and Samrath Luthra are young artists from India who will use their talents to raise money for educational programs for Project Why. Project Why is an NGO providing services for children and families living in the slums of Delhi, India. Chess Without Borders has worked with Project Why in the past supplying chess supplies and volunteers who have taught children in the schools. Hoping to continue providing some support Samrath Luthra and Neha Kirpal will host a Photography Exhibit in Delhi with the purpose of raising funds for donating computers for the school.
Samrath Luthra is a 16 year old student who has dabbled in Photography. He has a unique collection of Photographs depicting details of the lives of “Rickshaw walas” in Delhi. This is an unusual system of transportation used in India which relies on a man pedaling his rickshaw with the passengers sitting at the back. It is grueling work but Samrath has tried to capture the many moods of the people employed in this difficult trade.
Neha Kirpal is a 27 year old creative writer who has volunteered to edit the Photographs. She is currently working at McKinsey and Company in Delhi.
