Radha Krishna Academy

You can find Radha Krishna Academy over at Japlinganj, near Bhriguashram in Ballia. It is a well-known area, and we have been part of the neighborhood for a while now. The school isn't very big, but it is ours. We have a few rooms where the children sit and do their lessons. In the mornings, you can hear them reciting their tables from the street. It is a sound I have gotten used to over the years. We don't have a big budget for fancy things, so we make do with what we have got. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the gate squeaks a bit when you open it. But the atmosphere is friendly. The parents around here are hardworking people, and they want their kids to do well. We try to help them with that. We don't have a website or a big sign with lights. Most people just know where we are because they live nearby or their cousins came here. We spend our days teaching the basics and making sure the students behave themselves. It is a quiet life in Japlinganj, mostly. We just focus on the daily tasks of running a school and making sure everything is ready for the next day. It is a bit of a struggle sometimes, but it is a good kind of busy that keeps us going through the year.
