Kle Society School

If you head over to Ankali in the Belgaum district, you’ll find us. Kle Society School is situated in a spot that feels a bit more open than the crowded city centers. It’s got a solid, grounded feel to it, much like the rest of this region. The school has been part of the landscape for a long time, and the building reflects that history. It’s not a shiny new glass structure; it’s made of stone and brick that have stood through many monsoons. We spend our mornings getting the classrooms ready and checking that the grounds are neat. There is always a bit of dust because of the surrounding fields, but we try to keep on top of it. The staff here are mostly local people who have lived in Belgaum their whole lives. We drink a lot of tea in the staff room and talk about the local news before the day really gets started. It’s a quiet kind of work, mostly. We don’t have a big marketing team or anyone telling us how to look professional; we just show up and do what needs to be done for the kids and the families here in Ankali. The address is simple, and so is the way we run things. Sometimes things break and we have to wait for someone to come out and fix them, but we make do. It’s just a regular, honest place to be.
