These boys from surrounding villages live at a local school, that’s the only way they can go to school regularly. They pay 2500 rupees a year for their schooling and boarding.

school break
ha ha awesome way to cool off 🙂
I know. Makes you want to jump in too.
wonderful picture . And its great that they are getting an education through some form of enforcement .They’ll appreciate it later in life
These children need to live at school, because their villages are far-flung, a lot of them are tribals. So this is the practical solution. Saves them a lot of ‘commuting’ every day.
That first photo, especially, is a gem – love those bright ear-to-ear grins! 🙂
dustedoff, they are having so much fun.
It shows!
They don’t seem to mind their boarding and schooling!!! Lovely pictures 🙂
I’m sure they are happy kids. I didn’t visit the area myself, but Vivek said the school was really nice, run by a couple.
I want to teach at that school, seriously; I’m sick of western educational bureaucracy. How do I contact them?
Albert, I don’t have their contact details, this was a photo taken while traveling by my husband. But if you are serious, there are many schools in India, which are looking for teachers/volunteers.
