Ash got on a train to Mumbai last night, ready to see Ina and Mayuree (who we’re trying to force to work for Educate for Life – she’s too awesome for us to let anyone else have her)  and a few friends before flying back to the UK this afternoon and start out as a doctor proper next week.

Teddy is leaving tomorrow. He’s going with Deepak to stay at with his family, then see a teeny-weeny bit of India, then flying back to France.

Hunar Ghar is going to miss them, they’ve both been amazing over the last few months. Teddy has built three tremendous classrooms, done beautiful integrated landscaping and fixed umpteen extra tasks along the way. Ash has been forcing into place some systematic changes that will help us organise ourselves better, so we can make better schools. We’ve both got great feelings for the coming months.

And now, in all their splendor, please bear witness to the beauty and wonder that are the classrooms Teddy has designed and built. An informal school in a rural Indian villages requires that resources be rethought and redesigned. Why repeat when you can innovate? We think Teddy did a pretty good job, and we hope you do too.
