Lord Krishna Public School

You can find us over in Kathgharia, right on Kaladhungi Road in Haldwani. It’s a decent-sized school and we’ve been here for a while now. The road outside can get pretty busy with trucks and cars going towards the hills, so we have to be careful at the gates. We have a mix of local kids from the nearby colonies. The school building is pretty standard, with a few floors and a courtyard in the middle. We don’t really do much in terms of decoration; we just keep the walls painted and the floors swept. Most of our day is spent in the classrooms. Teachers here are just normal people trying to get through the lessons and make sure the kids understand their math and science. It’s hard work sometimes, especially when it rains a lot like it does here in the foothills. The ground gets muddy, and we have to tell the kids to stay off the grass. We have a small staff room where we drink tea and talk about the day’s problems. It’s not a fancy place with high-tech stuff everywhere. We use chalkboards and notebooks mostly. People in Haldwani know where we are, and we’ve been part of the community for years. We just try to provide a steady place for kids to come every day. It’s a lot of routine, but it works for us and the families. We don't need much more than that.
