School Visit









Wednesday also included two primary school visits. The first was in Puttur. The second school was in a poor tribal village and had five classes in one room, two teachers and 50 children all sitting on the floor. The picture shows how the schools use the walls of the school for education, maps, spelling, math tables, etc.. The students were served their noon meal at school consisting of rice, egg, and tamarind soup. All the students eat sitting on the floor. The team was invited to visit with several teachers who had worked for Henry when he was district superindendent. They treated the group to a roof top meeting and gave them neck scarves honoring the team's service to the poor in India. The meeting also included singing and dancing by students.
