This is the school we taught at today. It was pretty deep in the slums, reminding us a lot of the ones in Africa. The kids we worked with didn't seem to know as much as the kids in the other school did, even though some of them were a lot older. I couldn't help but think that this is the most these kids will ever get educated. The students here usually only stay for a couple years because the teachers encourage them to go to a real public school... thing is the public schools are farther than walking distance away and the kids can't afford to take 2 buses to school everyday. So basically this is it. The Hindi community doesn't even mind that we are Christians - for one, we are the only school in the area, and two, the kids get to eat a meal of bread and vegetables... which is more than they will get at home. But most important, they are getting the Bread of Life, the Word of God. And the rest of the community will hear the name of Jesus through them. Jai mashi ki!
