Maa Maitrayini Yogini Secondary School

Maa Maitrayini Yogini Secondary School is located on Gundi Road in Gunari, which is over in Arrah. It’s a quiet area, mostly surrounded by houses and some fields. The school itself is a modest structure. We don't have a giant sign or anything flashy, just the name on the wall. The entrance is a bit narrow, but it opens up into a small courtyard where we hold the morning assembly. We have a few rooms for the different classes. The floors are concrete and the walls are a bit scuffed from the kids' bags hitting them. High-end equipment isn't really found here. It’s mostly just textbooks, chalk, and notebooks. Teachers here work hard to get through the day's plans. There is a small office where we keep all the paper records in big folders. Sometimes the goats from the neighborhood wander near the gate, and we have to shoo them away. Life here is slow and steady. We don't do much in terms of marketing or trying to sound like a big corporation. We are just a local school serving the kids in Gunari. During the monsoon, the rain can be quite loud on the roof, making it hard to hear the teacher, so we just talk a bit louder. It's an honest place where we do our best with what we have. Most of the parents are our neighbors, so there's a lot of trust.
