Little Angels School

Ukkunagaram is a quiet place, and Little Angels School is right in the middle of it here in Visakhapatnam. Being in a township means most of the parents work nearby, so there's a real sense of everyone knowing each other. The school building is older, with wide corridors and high ceilings that help with the Vizag heat. We have a playground that gets quite dusty in the summer, but the kids don't seem to mind when they are playing football or cricket. The trees around the perimeter give us some nice shade during the afternoon. Inside, the walls are painted a simple cream color, and we have charts showing the alphabet and maps of India. We don't have any of those fancy digital screens in every room. We just use chalk and talk. The bells ring manually, and you can hear it across the street. The office is usually cluttered with files and registers because we still do a lot of things on paper. During the monsoons, the sound of the rain on the roof is so loud we have to shout a bit to be heard. It's a practical place for children to spend their day. We focus on the books and making sure the uniforms are tidy. It’s not a complicated operation. We just show up, do our jobs, and make sure the children are learning what they need to. It is just a part of the local life here in 530032.
