Shiv Prabha Residential School

Shiv Prabha Residential School is out in Wazirganj, Bihar, specifically on Fatehpur Road in the Dakhinganwa area of Gaya. Because this is a residential school, life here never really stops. The kids live on the premises, so we are responsible for more than just their classes. We have to manage the dorms, the kitchen, and the common areas too. It is a lot of responsibility and the days are long. The road outside can get quite dusty and there is always some noise from the passing vehicles. Inside the gates, we try to keep things as organized as we can. The buildings are practical and look like most other schools in this part of Bihar. We do not have a lot of bells and whistles. We spend our time making sure the students eat their meals, do their homework, and get to sleep on time. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to use the generators. That is just part of living in this area. We have a set of teachers and staff who stay on site or travel in from Gaya town. It is not an easy job, but it is what we do. We are just a group of people running a school where students can stay and learn their subjects in a quiet environment away from the main city.
