Alhadeed International School

We are up here in Mahyan Tangmarg, which is quite a beautiful spot if you don't mind the chill. Most of us who work at Alhadeed International School have lived around Baramulla for a long time, so we know how things go here. The school building isn't anything fancy, just a solid place where kids from the nearby villages come to learn their lessons. In the mornings, you can see the buses winding up the roads, and the noise starts as soon as the first group walks through the gates. It gets really busy around the entrance, especially when the weather is a bit rough and everyone is trying to get inside quickly. We spend a lot of time just keeping the place tidy and making sure the stoves are going when it's cold. The classrooms have high ceilings and the desks have seen some years, but they do the job. You’ll often find teachers sitting out in the sun during their breaks when it's out. It’s a pretty simple life here, really. We don’t have those massive playgrounds you see in the big cities, but there’s enough space for the kids to run around and get some air. People know us as the local school where you can just stop by and talk if you need something. We've been part of this community for a while now and most of the faces are familiar to us by this point.
