A U P School

Our school sits right on the road that goes from Shornur to Perinthalmanna, specifically in the Amayur area. It’s a long stretch of road, and we’re one of the landmarks people use when giving directions. A U P School has a simple look to it, nothing too flashy or modern. We have a few main buildings and some open space where the kids run around during their lunch break. The trees around the perimeter give us some nice shade, which we really need when the sun is out in full force. We don’t have a big fancy gate, just a regular entrance that stays open most of the day. The classrooms are basic, with benches that have seen better days, but they get the job done. We spend a lot of time cleaning up the dust that blows in from the main road. Being in Amayur means we get a lot of locals coming through. The teachers usually live nearby or take the bus that stops just down the way. It’s a bit of a rustic setup, but it works for us. We don’t go in for big speeches or glossy brochures. We just show up every morning, open the doors, and start the day’s work. There’s always something that needs fixing, like a leaky tap or a creaky door, but we manage.
