Fortune Butterfly School

If you drive through Kadthal, you will find Fortune Butterfly School easily enough. It is tucked away in Mahabubnagar and serves the families living nearby. We started this place because the area needed a school that was easy to get to. It is not a massive campus with glass walls, just a solid building where kids spend their day. We have some trees around the perimeter which helps with the heat. The staff here mostly lives in the village or close by. We drink tea together in the mornings before the bells ring. Students come from all sorts of backgrounds. Some walk, others come on the bus. We spend a lot of time on the basics like reading and math. We don't use big words to describe what we do. It’s just teaching. The desks are a bit old but they stay sturdy. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just open the windows wider. We have a small area for sports where the kids play kabaddi or football. It gets loud when they win a game. We try to keep the parents informed about what is happening in the classes. It's a busy life running a school in a place like this. We are just here to make sure the kids have a place to go every morning. It’s part of the neighborhood now and everyone seems to know where it is.
