Vidyabhumi School

Vidyabhumi School is tucked away in Khawasa, which is part of the Seoni district. The address is 480881 if you are looking it up on a map. It is a quiet place and we like it that way. The school itself is not very large, just enough rooms for the local children who live around here. We have a few trees in the yard that provide some shade when the sun is out. Seoni can get quite hot, so those trees are important for the kids during their break time. The classrooms have simple desks and chairs, and we use chalk and blackboards for almost everything. We don't have a lot of high-tech equipment, but we make sure the books are there and the students are reading them. The staff here are mostly people from the nearby villages who have been with us for a long time. They walk or come on scooters every morning. You won't find any big glossy signs or corporate logos here. It is just a place where kids learn their lessons and play in the dirt during recess. Sometimes the monkeys from the nearby trees come onto the roof, which causes a bit of a distraction for the classes. We just handle things as they come. Parents often stop by the gate to chat with the teachers about how their children are doing. It is a very local, hands-on way of running a school in this part of Seoni.
