Holy Family School Sathenapalle

It’s kind of funny having a school like Holy Family School Sathenapalle located right by the Auto Market in Sector 12. You wouldn't think it, but being at Shop No. 140/2 puts us right in the middle of all the Gurgaon hustle. We hear the sounds of the market all day, which is just how it is around here. The space isn't massive, but we make it work for the kids who come by. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze sometimes when parents are picking up their children near the shops. We spend our mornings setting up the rooms and getting things ready before the first bell. Usually, there's someone fixing a desk or moving chairs around. It’s not like those big campuses you see on TV, but it’s our spot. Most of the staff live close by, so we walk or take a rickshaw to get in. We've got the usual posters on the walls and the smell of old paper everywhere. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just open the windows and keep going with the lesson. It's practical work here. No one is putting on an act. We’re just here to teach what’s in the books and make sure the kids stay out of trouble during the break. It feels like a real part of the neighborhood, sitting there amongst the auto shops and local vendors. We even know the guys at the repair shops by name now.
