Shikahantar School

We have been running Shikahantar School over here in J Block for quite some time now. Being so close to Huda City Center means the area is always moving and there is plenty of noise from the traffic outside our gates in South City I. Most days start early with the yellow buses pulling up and parents trying to find a quick spot to park their scooters or cars without blocking the main road. We aren't trying to be anything too fancy or modern. It is just a regular building where we teach kids their daily lessons and hope they get something useful out of it. The classrooms are simple and we keep the walls covered in whatever projects or drawings the students finished during their art class last week. Sometimes the air conditioning units are a bit loud and the playground gets a little dusty when the wind picks up in the afternoon, but that is just how things are around here. Our staff mostly lives around this part of the city, so we see each other at the local market or the metro station sometimes. We don't spend much time on big speeches or making glossy brochures. We just open the doors every morning and get to work with the students. It gets really busy in the afternoons when everyone is leaving at once and the bells are ringing. It is a local place for families who want their kids to go to school nearby. We keep the front gate locked during the day and usually have someone sitting by the front desk to help with papers.
