Rbk Global School

Rbk Global School is over at 56, Kalawati Bhawan in the Jhotwara area of Jaipur. Jhotwara is a pretty crowded place, so having our spot at Kalawati Bhawan gives us a bit of a base. It’s not a huge campus or anything. It’s more of a functional building where we’ve set up our rooms. You can hear the market nearby if you listen closely, but once the kids are in their seats, it’s mostly just the sound of teachers talking. We’ve had to paint the walls a few times because the Jaipur sun and the rain can be a bit rough on the outside of the building. Inside, it’s all very simple. We have the usual desks and some posters on the walls that the kids made themselves. There isn’t a lot of extra space for fancy things, so every corner has a use, whether it’s for storage or a small reading nook for the younger ones. We know the people who live around 56 pretty well. They see us every morning when we’re unlocking the main door and getting things ready. It’s an honest kind of place to work. We don't use a lot of big words or have a lot of meetings about a "vision." We just want to make sure the kids have their books and a place to sit. Sometimes the water cooler acts up, or a light bulb flickers, and we just deal with it. That’s just how it is here in Jhotwara. It’s a busy, real life.
