This school is in an area where children of the very poor attend. They are given all supplies, uniforms and a full lunch, which in many cases is their main meal.
Most were very curious to see the visitors as we wondered through the halls and visited the classes.
Some schools started at 7:30 in the morning for K to grade 3 and ended with lunch at 11:30. The older students then arrived for lunch and started classes at 1:00. Lunch was prepared at the schools by volunteers as supplies were sent by the Mercy Ministry.
Monimala School - Children of the slums attend a very small school of 60 students.
The church school start with devotions where we were asked to visit and share with the students.
2 young ladies were very anxious to come to us to speak in English and personally meet us. The students example of discipline was amazing and wondered how our Canadian kids would do in their system. I was very surprised at how advanced the curriculum was especially for the younger ones.
This wonderful couple, Dr. Sequeira Behura and her husband run a small school of 60 slum children in a suburb of Calcutta. Dr. Behura has approached the ministry to open a clinic which she will run. Seniors take note that this couple is 74 & 76 years of age and still wanting to work for Jesus!!
