Modern Science School

We are out in Aramsahi, in the Masturi area of Bilaspur. It is a bit of a trek for some, but for the local families in this part of Chhattisgarh, it is where their kids come for school. The focus here is mostly on science, though we do the other subjects too. The building is a simple structure that we have added to over time as more kids joined. It isn't anything fancy to look at, but the classrooms are big enough and we have some basic lab equipment for the students to use. Teaching out here is different than in the big cities. We deal with power cuts sometimes and the dusty roads, but the school stays open. The teachers are mostly local people who care about the kids doing well. We have a small playground that gets a lot of use in the afternoons. Sometimes the paperwork gets backed up in the office, especially during admissions season. It is a lot of manual work, keeping track of everyone. We do not have big flashy billboards. Usually, people find out about us from their relatives or people in the village. It is a honest place where we try to do our best with what we have. Most days are just about following the bell and making sure the lessons get finished before the buses head back out. It is hard work, but we have been doing it this way for years now.
