Edu Academy

We run Edu Academy over in the Field Ganj area of Deonar. It’s a local neighborhood school and we have been in this spot for quite a while now. The address is easy enough for the students to find. The academy itself is basically a few rooms that we have turned into classrooms with benches and blackboards. It is nothing like those big private institutions you see on the news. Our walls are painted a simple blue and we have some posters about grammar and math taped up. The street outside is usually full of kids and people going to the market, so there is a lot of life around us. We spend our mornings preparing lessons and the afternoons are when the students start arriving. It can get pretty noisy when multiple classes are going on at once because the walls are thin. We have a small desk at the front where we keep the registers and some spare pens. There is a ceiling fan in every room that wobbles a bit when it's on full speed, but it keeps the air moving. We don't have any fancy technology or digital screens. We just use books and talk to the students directly. It’s a very simple, old-school way of doing things. We know most of the families in Deonar and they know us. It is just a small place dedicated to teaching the local kids their daily lessons.
