A child in a remote village has never seen a doctor. Not because doctors do not exist. But because the nearest hospital is 40 kilometres away. There is no road. No transport. No money for the trip even if transport existed.

There is a village in India where women wake up at 4 AM every day. Not for work. Not for prayer. For water. They walk three kilometres to a well, fill heavy pots, carry them back on their heads, and return just in time to send their children to school. By the time the sun rises, they have already done what most of us never think about securing water for the day.

Summer vacation has started. For some children, this means family trips, swimming classes, art workshops, and days filled with activities that make memories for a lifetime. For others, it means two months of nothing.

She wakes up at five. Makes breakfast for the family. Sends the kids to school. Cleans the house. Cooks lunch. Waits for everyone to return. Makes dinner. Goes to sleep. The next day, she does it all over again. Nobody pays her for this. Nobody calls it work. But she works harder than most people with salaries.
