I went to visit the school today with Esther, Priya, and Maya and we had a great time doing stories and songs with the kids. We read the Hungry Catterpillar and the Three Little Pigs and sang some songs like the Hokey Pokey, Head, Shoulders, Knees, Toes, and The Wheels on the bus. The kids were all smiles today and soooo excited to show off their new classrooms!!! The construction on the six classrooms is almost finished and a few of the classes are already using the rooms and it makes a world of difference--now when the monsoon rains come they won't have to cancel class! The last picture is of Neelam (the school director) standly proudly outside of the new school--she started this school 9 years ago on a blanket in a field with 5 students and now it has grown to almost 200 students. Thanks to her untiring work and petitions to Unitech and the village land owners, and other donors, the children can now have a refuge from the elements and a more stable learning environment.
