Satya Sai English School

Satya Sai English School is tucked away in Gaura Village, near Hati in Satna. Being in a village means we have a lot of space and fresh air, but it also means we have to deal with things like cows wandering near the gate or the road getting muddy after a storm. We focus on teaching English to the kids here because parents in the village really want that for them. The building is a single-story structure with a few rooms that we use for different grades. It’s a bit of a tight fit sometimes, but we make it work. Most of the teachers live nearby and we all know each other well. We don't have a lot of expensive equipment, just the essential stuff like desks and a few maps on the walls. The kids come from all over the local area, some walking and some on bicycles. We start our day early before it gets too hot. During the break, the kids play in the open ground nearby. It’s a very simple life here. We don’t spend money on fancy advertisements or shiny signs. We just do the work of teaching and managing the school day by day. Sometimes the local elders stop by to see how things are going. It’s a community effort more than anything else. By the time the sun starts to go down, we finish up our paperwork and head home through the fields. It's just a regular village school.
