Maybe I should explain the comment in the previous post: I mentioned that the warden at the orphanage spoke no English. I meant to lead from that into a couple perceptions: 1. It would be difficult at best to conduct an interview with any of the children, because the adults either spoke no English or they spoke no Hindi and I needed someone who could speak both. 2. The one English speaker (seen in the previous post's first clip) commented that many people have already interviewed a number of the children. This second obviously negates the first perception; but it left me wanting to explore waters that had not been navigated so frequently.
At any rate, I did look into some of the boys rooms. Actually, they would normally look quite differently than shown here. But all 45 +/- boys had been squeezed into 1 room as had the 45 +/- girls. This was in order to accommodate the people attending the family conference Wed through Sunday.
This first pic shows what is intended as the main entrance, through a welcoming courtyard. Boys rooms on the left and girls on the right.
Children in 1 - 4 standards were on a brief break from school. So these boys were eager to mug for my camera.
This next shot looks across the campus to the dome at the top of the library.
Now let's go inside the library...
These last 2 shots give you the inside view of the dome of the library. To help you: The perspective is looking straight up--vertical--from the floor through 3 or 4 stories of the library to the dome. I hope you can get a sense of how impressive it is.
Thank you for reading!
