With a doubt, Yoshodhan School is at the heart of Bombay Smiles. Every day the students that attend this school, set deep in the extensive slum of Shashtri Nager (Thane), are more diligent and studious. The Yashodhan School is, in the ocean of slums in the northern suburbs of Bombay, a ray of light for the futures of the least advantaged sectors around this huge city in India.Today we are sharing with you a few pictures from a normal morning in this school that, thanks to our help, continues to spread hope…
Every morning a precious rangoli made from rice powder welcomes the students, professors and visitors. It is placed just below a plaque commemorating the inauguration of the new floor of the building two years ago. This new floor allowed the school to double the amount of students.
The oldest students sing the National Hymn of India: “Jana Gana Mana.” Singing it every morning before school is obligatory at every school in the country.
I did my homework! It went really well!
Girls, flirtations in front of the camera, huh? It's time for class to start!
Ana Andrés, responsible for the Department of Visits, continues to concentrate on teaching them how to make paper boats.
Boys! Sit down so class can start!
And and a few hour later... Recess!
Ana Andrés meets with some professors…
Other teachers use the tranquility of recess to grade some papers!
Silence! Time for class to start again!
