A Day at a Nursery School

Today we want to show you some photos from a normal day in one of the 100 balwadis (nursery schools) that Bombay Smiles and the local organization New Life have supported over the last year. Here, the pictures are from the balwadis in the most peripheral slum zone of Mumbia.


Welcome to the Balwadi

Once the students have entered the classrooms, Project Coordinator Jacob Serrao and his wife return to the offices where the monitor the balwadis.


Kamal Manshukani's surprise visit to one of the balwadis.


The teacher and her helper watch the students as they do their first math problems.

A serious moment...

The students review the names of fruits and vegetables (from the poster hanging on the wall).

The teacher is now going over the days of the month.


Before the children eat, Kamal Manshukani takes attendence.


The classroom has been decked out to celebrate one of the student's birthdays

Time to sing! And as they sang so well... no glass broke :)
This is one of Bombay Smile’s 100 balwadis (nursery schools) that, thanks to your help, educates more than 3,000 children in the most poverty-stricken areas of Bombay, giving them hope and the possibility of a future with liberty.
