A step in the right direction

Much was achieved at school today. Two more volunteers have joined me here and together with Hari, our co-ordinator from the village, we gathered together to discuss how best to improve the school.

 It was agreed that a timetable was needed that the volunteers could see, and that the lessons should be shorter, particularly for the younger children. At the moment the Nursery are expected to sit from 10.15am until 12 noon learning to write numbers and the alphabet. Perhaps when the lessons are shorter and the children get a break there will be less problems with discipline. That is up for discussion next week!



This is the smallest child in the school. She wanted a photo taken of her very smart new shoes. 
  
 Aruna then wanted her picture taken. She is always cold, and often wears two hats. You may just make out her layers of tights in this picture
