Dayspring School

Dayspring School is situated in Visweswarayapuram, which is a little way out via Lakkavaram in the Amalapuram area. The school building stands among some trees and feels a bit removed from the main buzz of the town. We have a regular routine that hasn't changed much over the years. The doors open at the same time every morning, and the students start trickling in from the nearby villages. Many of them walk quite a distance or come in on local buses that stop not too far from our gate. The building is a standard concrete structure with several rooms that we’ve tried to keep tidy, though the paint is peeling in a few spots near the windows. Inside, you’ll find rows of desks and plenty of old books that have been passed down between siblings. It’s a very practical place where the focus is just on the daily schoolwork. During the lunch break, the students sit under the shade of the trees to eat their tiffins. We don't have any high-tech gadgets or fancy labs, just the basics like maps on the walls and a few charts for science and math. The teachers here have been with us for a long time and they know exactly which student needs a bit of extra help with their writing. It’s a humble sort of school that serves the families living in this part of the Konaseema region without any fuss or complicated rules.
