The journey to Padhar went smoothly - the flight to Nagpur ran a little late, but the driver from Padhar picked me up at the airport and drove me the 3 hours to Padhar with ease. I arrived to the warm smiles of my friends Deepa and Rajiv and a delicious dinner. The WIFI was down so I slept, determined to figure it out in the morning.
The next morning, I visited Happy Valley English School and had a wonderful discussion with their new principal, Mrs. Daniel. What a joy to see my teacher friends and all the students back after the pandemic. Happy Valley has about 400 students, grades Nursery through grade 12 and Friends of Padhar Schools is supporting scholarships and equipment for the upcoming school year.
