A P Social Welfare Residential Schools

Our school is sitting right in the middle of Kadapa, near the RCM Church. If you know the area, you know how hot it gets around here, so we spend a lot of our time trying to stay in the shade. This is one of the A P Social Welfare Residential Schools, and we’ve been at this Cuddapah Ho address for a while. Being a residential spot means there is always someone around, even late at night or early on Sunday mornings. The building is shared with the KGBV school, so it’s a crowded place with a lot of energy. We have simple dormitories and classrooms that have seen better days, but they serve their purpose. There is a lot of routine here, from the morning assembly to the evening study hours. You can hear the church bells from across the way, which helps us keep track of time. The staff room is usually full of registers and old files. We don't have fancy air conditioning, just the old ceiling fans that we hope keep working. Meals are served in a big hall, and that’s usually the loudest time of the day. We focus on the basics here—making sure everyone is fed, the lessons are taught, and the gates are locked at night. It’s a very practical kind of life, just people living and working together in this part of Kadapa. We don't make a big deal out of things, we just do the work.
