Jaisalmer school

I went to Jaisalmer in July 2005, and the director of Desert Boy’ S Guest House, Pradeep Vyas introduced us to his cousin, Bharat Vyas. He had just started a school, Lal Bahadur Shastri Primary School, in an underprivileged district of the city.

The school already had more than 200 pupils from nursery to class 5th. A house was located especially to give the courses.

This year, there are 800 pupils from nursery to class 8th, and 15 teachers......

It has taken more than 3 years to get a land from the indian government.

Our partner, Bharat Vyas, is now trying to get some subventions from local personalities.

We will then be able to build a new school, like in Katholi.

A 6 weeks training camp has been organised during holidays.
Parents received simple education and children get painting and dancing classes.

In November 2006, during Diwali (a 5 days festival to celebrate the new year), 2 french people went to Jaisalmer to meet their sponsored children.
Everybody was happy to receive them...
