Foundation Day

Our schedule has been disrupted this week as students and faculty prepare for Foundation Day, a yearly celebration which is to take place this Saturday the 16th. There are some dance routines, skits, and nursery rhymes to be performed by the students for their families and visiting dignitaries. The students only have two classes in the morning and then spend the rest of the school day practicing. I am very anxious to meet families and to see the results of the students’ labors. There will be two student emcees, who will host in both English and Hindi. One of the teachers is getting me a sari to wear and Poonam is insisting on painting my toenails and making me wear lipstick. I will be sure to get plenty of photos!
