Divine Child International School

We are located out here on the Ahmedabad Mehsana Highway, right by the Industrial Estate. It gets pretty busy with the trucks passing by, but once you get inside the gate at Post Box No 25, things quiet down a bit. Most of us have been working here for a while now. We spend our mornings getting the rooms ready and checking if the fans are working because it gets quite hot in Mehsana during the summer months. It is not a fancy place, just a regular school where we try to keep things organized. You’ll see the staff coming in early, some on bikes and others taking the bus. There is always something to fix, like a leaky tap or a door that won't shut right. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. It is just us, the teachers and the office people, making sure the day goes okay. The kids come from all over the nearby areas. Sometimes the dust from the highway gets into the hallways, so we are always sweeping. It’s a lot of work keeping a place this size running smoothly every single day. We just focus on what needs to be done next, whether that is paperwork or setting up the playground. It’s a simple life here, really. We know the neighbors and the local shopkeepers. It feels more like a small community than a big institution most of the time.
