Keshabpur Primary School

We're down at 36 Kutya Waris, on Braunfeld Row. It's right in the Mominpur area of Kolkata. Being a primary school, we see a lot of younger kids coming through. The building is simple, nothing too special to look at from the outside. Inside, the rooms are filled with charts and drawings on the walls. It’s a bit of a maze sometimes with the way the rooms are laid out. We have been at this 700027 address for years. The street can be narrow, so parking is always a bit of a headache for the parents. We mostly have local kids from the immediate neighborhood. The staff consists of a few of us who handle everything from teaching to fixing the lights. We don't have a big budget for fancy things. We just make sure there are enough pencils and paper to go around. The wooden benches are old but they still hold up. During the monsoon, we have to be careful about the water coming in near the entrance. We just put down some mats and carry on. It’s a humble place. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just walk in if they need to talk to us. It’s a very local, hands-on kind of environment. We focus on the basics every single day. The children keep us busy enough that we don't have much time for anything else.
