Just One: Shiva Ji Mission School 15 April

4/15/2017

 
Picture
The weekend of Easter is like in any other weekend in Varanasi.   The Christian community here is very small, and so most businesses open as normal including government and schools.  Shiva Ji Mission school is no exception, and the Just One team arrive at 10am on the 15th April for their fruit distribution program.
 
The school is still very quiet, with all the 200 students engrossed in their classes. The teacher of the youngest class is seated with the children and they are all listening intently to her.   In other room the teacher walks around the room as the students each read a short piece from their books.  In yet another classroom the teacher is sitting at the back of the room and each student is bringing him their homework for checking and if needed correction.      
 

Once the gong sounds and the class is finished, many of the older children begin to wave and say ‘Om Jai Jai Sai Maa’ in loud voices.  Today some of the younger children also wave at us when we begin the distribution of pomegranates.   Pomegranates are a good source of nutrition and right now they are, good quality, plentiful and inexpensive to buy.  The only drawback is they are difficult for the younger children to open.   However the older children readily offer assistance with this.  We have chosen small pomegranates as more suitable for the children.  Each one gets 3 small pomegranates to consume.  After the distribution everyone is happy and the smiles on the faces of children and teachers alike reflect the appreciation for the offering from Sai Maa and the Just One team.
