For the next few days all the children at Amar Jyoti school have exams. An example of the English paper for Class 5 says 'Read the questions carefully and give the answer ‘Yes, I can’ or ‘No, I amn’t’
One answer to 'Can you break a ruler' was ‘Yes, I amn’t’.
There is a lot of work to do!
Lorna and I organised some games to keep the children amused whilst waiting for the start of the exams. They loved having to pass the inside of a loo roll (wish I had brought some bean bags) under their legs! Even Mek Bahadur the Year 3 Teacher, enjoyed the race which involved balancing a ladybird book on the head. But he cheated by balancing it on his Topi.

Sausmita is from a low caste, and she appears very needy. Today she was delighted to receive a warm hat donated by a previous guest at the lodge. Thank you Linda.
Hats are very popular and appear to be a status symbol. Sausmita was a worthy recipient.
