The school year is fast coming to a close, and the students are becoming more and more excited each week we come.   The discipline that the school has nurtured in the students is still present and the students and teachers continue their lessons as they do throughout the year.   And still there is the buzz of excitement, the low volume gay chatter of children ready for the holidays, and later we experience the delight of these children, eyes shining, mouths laughing, and stomachs full, as they rush out the gate when the final bell rings.

Today is Saturday 6th of May and again it is very hot in Varanasi. May is one of the hottest months in the year in Varanasi with an average temperature of 43C/110F – and it often feels much higher because of the humidity. When the Just One team arrive at the Shiva Ji Mission School we immediately notice it is surprisingly cooler in the classrooms.  Then we see that each room has its single fan switched to maximum – giving the children somewhat more comfort to focus on their studies
