Bhubaneshwar is serving slum children. Here are the first students.

There is a park nearby the school.

This photo gives us an idea of the surrounding area.

Mr Parichha is the head teacher.

The lady teacher is called Souvagini Tarai.

It's a tough challenge persuading and motivating parents to send their chidlren to school
for free eduction because it is in their minds that children should earn for the family.

Celebrating Christmas!
Our teachers are doing a really good job.

Permission was soon granted by the village committe for the school to move into the community hall.
If the school runs well for 3-4 years the committee may decide to give that land and the building
permanantly for our school purpose!

The head teacher, Mr Parichha, is given a bike.

They all look so happy, even the teachers!

Our two teachers work hard visiting slum families trying to motivate parents to send their children
to Bhubaneshwar School for free education.

We are fortunate to have a building to use.

We now have benches, books and uniforms.

The boy in the chair has polio; it would be great to be able to help him.

The children performing at the annual function.

There are now almost 50 children attending Bhubaneshwar School. Here are some of them.

Let's take a look at where the children live. Miserable conditions.

Here is Sumaiya and her family. She is 10 years old and used to go out to work with her mother.
"We are fortunate to getting free education in your school. I am doing well in my class room.
We all are happy and thankfull to your love and blessing to us."

We provide the children with 1 free school meal but we would love to increase that to 2.
