WOW YESTERDAY WAS SO SO COOL!!! I went with some people to a rural school and we ran baseline tests in subjects like math, writing and reading to understand what they know so far. The school is only one classroom large and there is only one teacher for all the kids ranging from about the ages of 3-9. The school is a bridge school, so the students for the most part only attend the school for 6 months so that they can be more prepared when they enter into a government school. They were all so so sweet, and it felt more like a community than pretty much any school I've ever seen, they all seem like they take care of each other and a lot of kids seem to work as a pseudo parents for their younger siblings. Today should definitely be an adventure, I'm traveling with another intern, my boss and one other person who works at the office to another rural school. We're leaving tonight to head to Ujire, which I'm guessing is 8-9 hours away around 8PM, and then working through Friday and should be back in Bangalore Saturday morning. I've heard Ujire is very green, and I'm looking forward to seeing the school and the differences between the city and Bangalore. It should be a great time and I'm sure I'll learn and see a lot!!
