Lunch at the Saraswati Vidya Kendra




A few weeks ago I wrote about Lunch at the Shanbhag School. During our recent visit to kumta in July, I walked over to the adjacent Saraswati Vidya Kendra, the primary school of the Konkan Education Trust.

On this Wednesday, kids were dressed in their school uniforms, unlike the 'casual Thursday" attire we saw earlier. Here are a couple pics of tiny tots in the lower KG and the upper KG classes sitting for lunch. Because they have difficulty eating from plates (without getting half the food on the floor), they are served in "dabbas" and side dishes are served in the lids. It appeared odd, but once I saw tiny hands grab food from the dabbas, it made more sense.


One more pic and Audio of Kids Chanting at the School

thank you!

I can't get enough of the audio!
Now I'm going to carry my voice recorder, wherever I go :-)

Your pictures are always so real. I love the expressions; some look bored, some are thrilled about being photographed, and one of them just dreaming:))Lovely as usual:)
