Merit Mission School

Our school is tucked away in the Ambegaon Budruk area of Pune. It has been here for several years now, serving the families in this neighborhood. We have kids coming in every morning, dropping off their bags and heading to their classrooms. The building is simple and we try to keep it tidy, though with so many children running around, there is always a bit of a mess somewhere. We teach the usual subjects, from math to languages. The teachers live nearby, so they understand the local families well. We do not really do big advertising or anything like that. Most people find us because they live just down the street or heard about us from a neighbor. The 411046 area code is where we belong. On rainy days in Pune, the courtyard gets a bit wet, but the kids do not seem to mind much. We have desks, blackboards, and a small area for sports. It is a practical place. We focus on the daily lessons and making sure everyone stays on track with their work. Sometimes we have small events for the parents to see what the children are doing. It is a lot of work keeping a school running, from managing the books to fixing a broken window or a leaky tap. We just take it one day at a time here. It is a normal school for normal kids in Ambegaon Budruk. Nothing fancy, just education for the local community.
