Nagar Palika School No 9 Dondaicha

We've been here in Ranipura for a long time now. Most people around Dondaicha know us just as the number nine school. It is a simple place, really. We have the usual classrooms and a bit of space for the kids to run around during their breaks. It's not fancy, just a local municipal school doing its job every day. The teachers here live nearby and know the families. Sometimes the gate squeaks or the paint is peeling, but the classes go on. We start early in the morning when the sun isn't too hot yet. You’ll see the kids walking down the road in their uniforms from all over this part of Dhule. We try to keep things organized but schools are always a bit noisy, aren't they? That is just how it is. We follow the standard government stuff for the lessons. There is no big office with carpets here. We sit on wooden chairs and talk to parents right in the hallway or the main room. It feels like part of the neighborhood because it is. We just want the kids to learn their reading and math so they can do okay later on. Some days are busy with paperwork, other days we just focus on the lessons. It's a steady routine. If you come by, you'll see we are just a normal part of life here in Ranipura. We aren't doing anything special, just helping out the local kids as best we can.
