Do you see anything wrong with this picture? Sadly, it is far too normal here in India: the Dad is driving the motorcycle, the wife riding side-saddle on the back with their precious baby girl in her arms. Not only is this situation extremely dangerous in itself, but especially in the cities where this pic was taken (they're waiting at the railway gate for the trains to go by and the "gate" to open), India is a place where traffic is equivalent to chaos, accidents ready to happen at any time. I would like to think that the people whom we work with are wiser than this, but that simply is not reality in many cases. Pray for the adults whom we work with, and the youth who are on the bikes, that they will have the wisdom and common sense to make good decisions, and not take these kind of foolish risks.
