Ода моей школе

Fifty years ago, I stood on the veranda of a small temple in Assam, looking out at a handful of children and wondering what on earth I was doing there. Fresh out of college, newly married, and far from everything familiar, I had arrived in a remote Assamese village with the unlikely task of helping build a school for the local community. This memoir looks back on the creation of Bongaigaon Higher Secondary School-fondly known as the Menon School-and the journey that unfolded around it. For those who were part of it, these pages offer a chance to remember. For everyone else, it is an invitation to discover an incredible journey shaped by dedication and hope.
