Pawa Public School

Pawa Public School is down on Sivanantha Salai in the Arapalayam area of Madurai. If you know Madurai, you know Arapalayam is a busy spot with a lot of buses and people moving through. Our school is at 2B/1 and it has been part of the neighborhood for a long time. The street outside can get very noisy with all the traffic, but inside the classrooms, it is a bit better. We have a regular schedule that we follow every day. It starts with opening the main doors and getting the classrooms ready. We have several teachers who come in from different parts of the city. The heat in Madurai is something we just have to live with, so we have fans in all the rooms, though they don't always do much on the hottest days. The school itself is a simple building with concrete floors and painted walls that we try to touch up every now and then. We have a small playground, but it is nothing compared to the big schools on the outskirts. We mostly serve the families who live right here in Arapalayam. It is a lot of work to keep everything running, from the water supply to the electricity. We just take it one day at a time and try to keep things organized. It is a plain school but it gets the job done for the local kids.
