The All Special Local Elementary School of Our Colony

Elementary School for Adults

Education as we all know is the most important ingredient for any society to grow and succeed. Without complete education it is really hard for any country to be fully developed, as in all the fields knowledge is a key component. However in developing countries like mine - India - there are many people who have the desire to study and acquire knowledge, but due to several unavoidable constraints are unable to pursue the same. Having all such scenarios in consideration our colony came up with a noble idea of opening a special Elementary School for all the adults who somehow were not able to pursue education either due to financial or any other social constraints.

The school was planned to run with the help of donations from all well to do families living in our colony and some external funding was arranged from a private company. Everyone was given an open invitation to get enrolled in the school without having to pay any fees to relive their dreams once again through sponsored elementary education. There was a rush of voluntary teachers from all the house wives and elders living in our colony. The enthusiasm among all was scaling day by day as the idea was taking wings and foundation of a new beginning was shaping well. The first floor above our local bakery was decided as the place where initially the classes were supposed to run from 10.00 in the morning till 14.00 in the afternoon.

The students ranged from all ages to all sections and not limited by gender. We had kids, parents and even working people willing to continue their studies which were left in between or not even started for some. This would prove an opportunity for all to start a new life with better knowledge and a better understanding of how to shape their lives towards success. On the day of opening everyone's heart was full of sentiments whether or not they were related to the school. In fact we had to increase the capacity of students initially planned to be enrolled in the school due to the overwhelming response from all our enthusiastic students.
