YOUNG PEOPLE are often said to lack patience. In the Indian city of Ahmedabad, these schoolchildren are working on achieving the opposite – a greater sense of serenity through yoga. It is a picture that suggests the power and energy of youth, and hints at the dreams and plans they have for the future. And yet in many parts of the world, young people are un- able to fulfil their potential through a lack of guidance and opportunity. GIZ is helping to change that through projects that promote children and youth. Photographer: Amit Dave SILENT FORCE FIELD
