Sai Academy

We run Sai Academy over on Kalewadi MG Road. The specific address is 34/3/1. It’s just a simple place where we have set up some classrooms for the students. The building is right on the main road, so there is always a lot of noise from the buses and scooters going past. We have a few rooms with benches and whiteboards. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but they are covered with charts and notes anyway. Students come in and out throughout the afternoon and evening. It gets quite crowded in the hallways when one class ends and another begins. We spend our time explaining lessons and checking through notebooks. It is a lot of talking every day. We don't have any fancy technology, just the basics to help people learn. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to open all the windows to keep the air moving. The students are mostly from the local neighborhood and walk here after their regular school hours. We know their parents and often chat with them on the sidewalk. It’s a busy life being on MG Road. We’ve been here for a few years now and it’s just our daily routine. We open the doors around noon and stay until the last student leaves in the dark. It’s a practical setup for teaching.
