Blooming Buds

Blooming Buds is right here in Mominabad, near the By Pass in Parimpora. It is easy to find if you know the Srinagar area well enough. We have been operating this school for quite some time now. It is not a very big or fancy place, but it serves the local families who live around the bypass. Most of the children walk here from the nearby houses. You can see them in the mornings with their bags, navigating the traffic. The building is a bit old, maybe it needs a fresh coat of paint soon, but it works for what we need. Inside, the rooms are filled with the usual school things like wooden desks and chalkboards. We don't have all those high-tech gadgets you see in the city schools, but the kids learn just fine. Sometimes the electricity goes out, especially when the weather in Srinagar gets a bit rough, but we just carry on. The teachers are mostly local people from the neighborhood. We all know each other here. It feels more like a small community than a business. Parents often stop by just to chat or ask how their kids are doing. There is a small space outside where the children play during their break. It gets a bit muddy when it rains, but they don't seem to mind much. We just try to keep things running every day without making too much of a fuss.
