Carly is a 16-year-old Indian girl. Two years ago there

was a terrible flood in her hometown. Her parents died in

the flood. Her house also fell down. So she became a home

less child. There was nothing she could do about it. She m

oved to a strange place. Luckily, she met a kind-hearted

man. He helped her and took care of her. Many people th

ere gave her clothes and food. The government supplied s

ome money to her, too. Now she can go to school, and she

lives happily like other kids.
