Vasantraw Naik Prymari School

Our school is right in the middle of Ausa, and most people in the Latur area have seen us at some point. It is a primary school, so we deal with the little ones mostly. They come in with their big bags and messy hair every morning. The building is older, and you can tell by looking at the walls, but it serves its purpose. We don't have a lot of high-tech stuff here. Mostly it is just teachers, chalk, and books. The classrooms can get a bit hot in the afternoons because the sun hits the front of the building directly. We try to keep things moving along according to the schedule, but with kids, things always go a bit sideways. Someone forgets their lunch or someone else scrapes a knee on the playground. That is just how the days go. The parents are mostly local folks who work hard, and they want their children to get a decent start. We know most of the families by name because we have been here so long. It is not a shiny place like you see in the big cities, but it is our place. We spend a lot of time just making sure the kids are actually sitting down and paying attention. Sometimes we have to fix the benches ourselves or tidy up the small garden out front when it gets overgrown. It is a lot of work, but we are used to it.
