Xlent Preprimary Schools

Over in Bhudana, within the Taj Ganj area of Agra, you will find Xlent Preprimary Schools. It is a small setup meant for the youngest kids in the neighborhood. We are not a big institution with multiple campuses or anything like that. It’s just a few rooms where we have set up some colorful mats and small chairs. The kids from around Bhudana come here every morning, and it’s usually quite a handful to manage them all. There is a lot of singing, some crying, and plenty of running around. We don't have any corporate polish or professional decorators. We just put up some posters and drawings that the children made themselves. The building is right in the heart of the community, so we hear the sounds of the street all day long. Sometimes we have to deal with the heat or a leaky tap, but we just fix things as we go. The teachers are mostly local women who have a lot of patience. We spend our time teaching the kids how to share and how to write their first letters. It is a very humble place. We don't use marketing tricks to get people to come here; the families just know us from living nearby. It’s a noisy, busy, and sometimes messy job, but it is what we do here in this part of Agra every single day to keep things moving.
