All subjects are taught in Telugu, but English is part of the curriculum in all schools in India because it is the most commonly used language in business, government, railway/air travel and all service industries.

In order to help the school we have a 'mentoring project' which uses spoken exchanges through SKYPE between the school teachers and retired TEFL teachers - members of 'The University of the Third Age' - in Australia, South Africa and England.

Currently we are using two of the school's wall-charts as subject matter for discussion: you can click on FOOD and FRUIT to see those charts.

We have been given some old benches that we can use for desks for the smaller children. Here is a roof-top lesson. Older children in Fahima's class (right) still sit on the floor in their classroom.
