Yashoda Memorial School

You can find us at Dollar House in Raisham Katra, which is right in the Taj Ganj area of Agra. This is an old part of the city, so the streets are narrow and there are always people and rickshaws moving about. The school building is not a modern glass structure or anything like that. It is just a practical place where we have set up classrooms. We have been here for a good while and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint soon. We have fans in the rooms for when it gets hot in the summer months. The noise from the market outside sometimes drifts into the classrooms, but the children and the teachers are used to it by now. We follow the usual books and lessons that every school does. There isn't a big field for sports, so the kids mostly play in the courtyard area. It gets quite crowded during lunch breaks, but that is just how it is in this part of town. We don't have a fancy office for meeting people, just a couple of desks where we handle the paperwork. Most of the families who send their children here live within walking distance. We don't make any big claims about what we do. We just provide a place for kids to sit and learn their subjects every day. We see the same shopkeepers every morning and we are just a small part of this busy community that works and lives around the Taj Ganj area.
