Varanasi, India — 12/2025

This is Shivasamah and his brother, Shaurya. Their father died on September 3rd, 2025. Each morning, Shivasamah opens and operates his father’s streetside barbershop from 6 to 9 a.m., cutting hair & shaving faces in the same place his dad once worked. Before 10, he walks to school, where he studies from 10-3. He worries that in the coming months he may no longer be able to afford to stay in school.
