Sabari Vidhyalay

Sabari Vidhyalay is located in Padra, which is part of the Vadodara district. The address is 391440. Padra is a bit away from the main city of Vadodara, so it has a slightly slower pace, though there’s still plenty of movement around. The school itself is a basic setup. We have a couple of buildings and a bit of an open area where the kids stand for assembly in the mornings. It’s usually pretty sunny out there, so everyone tries to finish up quick and get into the shade of the classrooms. We don’t have any fancy mission statements or corporate goals plastered on the walls. It’s just a school where we teach the local kids. The desks are a bit worn out and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but it’s a functional place. Our day starts early and ends when the last bus leaves. The staff room is usually where we drink tea and talk about the weather or the local news. We don't spend money on big ads. People know where Sabari Vidhyalay is because their cousins or neighbors went here. It’s a practical part of the community in Padra. We just keep the gates open and make sure the students have a place to sit and learn every day of the week. It's a simple life for us here, and we don't really feel the need to make it more complicated than it already is.
