Here is a recent picture of our happy teachers and staff. Last week, we signed up a new partner organization! The MV Foundation is sending us a teacher (haaa haaa! wheee!!) and a steady supply of student notebooks. Both are permanent. Notebooks are the most important "teaching tool" we have. The students writing down, then reflecting and revisiting their work in their very own notebooks is a luxury almost all the government schools do not have. We are SO grateful to the MV Foundation. Finally, the low level government officials we work with are suddenly (and suspiciously) very cooperative. We think it is the good press that one of our angel advisors keeps lining up for us. Suddenly, we have a TON of rice. Literally, in our storehouse is a ton of government rice for the mid-day meal. And they are supplying us with water on a more regular basis.
Last, the Lion's Club of Jubilee Hills has decided to make us a permanent recepient of their fine, professional services which include 1000 rupees a month for the pre-school teacher, Sunitha. We also continue to send the students with chronic conditions to their Monday morning clinic. Here is a picture of their clinic, held at the Jubilee Hills Ladies Club building (road number 13, just past the checkpost). Dr. Arati is there acting as liaison with my friend, Nicky. The two lady doctors who volunteer there every Monday morning are there in sarees. They are so hip and with it, I want to be like those two when I grow up.
