The entrance to the Primary School at Katami Gajah. The Adventure Company supports the school. We were taken aback by what little equipment the teachers have. The children, 6 classes all sharing one room, are aged 5 to 11 and are given a free school lunch, even on a Saturday, which was the day of our visit. This is a powerful incentive to attend. Our group gave them some books and pencils we had bought in Nainital and we passed on the couple of hundren rupees left over to the dinner ladies. The lovely children were more excited by the sweets and drinks we had also brought - fairly normal behaviour really!
