Today Just One is returning to the Shiva Ji Mission School following the Republic Day celebrations earlier in the week. When we entered the gates on Republic Day we were met with huge excitement and lots of chatter, waves and a big buzz of activity everywhere. It is now 5 days later, the 20th August, and when we open the gates there is only silence. The 270 students are all at their benches with their heads down working had on their lessons.

We ae distributing bananas today, and we are giving each young student 2 bananas and the older students 3 bananas. We wait until the break between classes for the distribution so that there is minimal impact on the study time. The whole school regardless of the class level does the same subject at the same time. So, for example, all 270 students in the whole school have a mathematics period at the same time, then move to an art period. It is only what is covered in the lessons that differs between the grades. This makes it easier for the teachers as well because teachers are assisting multiple classes in each period.
