The students along with two coordinators spent around two hours with the students.
They played a few games and tried to understand the level of learning of our students by asking them to write and solve simple mathematical equations. Some of the students were actually able to do very well. The visiting team was very impressed. The way students welcomed them and the enthusiasm with which they responded to the foreigners was above board.
When one of the visitors asked Komal, a student, to write alphabet ‘A’, she wrote it very beautifully. When theyGrace School, United States, children singing songs for the underprivileged beneficiaries of Education on Wheels. asked her what her name is, she said fluently ‘My name is Komal’.
