On the first day we went to the country to attend classes in rural Indian schools. Nobody in these schools can speak English, not even the teachers. The Loreto girls set about teaching these children the basics, while we sat back and watched.
We were split into different groups and went to 3 different schools. My group went to a school which was buried deep into the countryside and was only accessable by a 20 minute walk from the nearest road. The school itself was tiny. Two classrooms, which in turn were split into two more classrooms. The chilren were excited to see us as they had never seen white children before.
Everyone enjoyed the experience and on the way back to the city we visited a school which had lost its roof in a storm. Thanks to the India fund, this school will have a new one soon enough.
