The academic session at Dakshinayan is over. The final exams were in the first week of March. I prepared the English question papers and went to the project for the exams.
After the exams were over it was our turn to correct the papers, which was a huge job. But the teachers, Premanand, Haladhar, Shanku and me, we finished them on time and the marksheets were drawn. Shanku was very helpful with the marksheets as he remembered the exact way guruji(Siddharth) used to do it. Finally the report cards were made and the fates sealed. On the result day the children and their guardians came and assembled in front of the Lokenath temple. The results were announced and report cards given. The pass average was good this year. There were prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd students of all the classes and also for the maximum attendance in each class for the whole year.
After the last year's results were out the new session's admission is going on. Shanku visited the various villages and told the villagers about the date when admission is to start, as, many of them were asking about the dates. At present the admission for the new session is going on.
We had a bit of a good news from our ex volunteer Philip Auinger who has contributed a nice amount of money to Dakshinayan which will go a long way in running the project. Thank you Philip for keeping us close to your heart and helping our cause.

Hi Mittali. I'm glad to hear that, congratulations! I wish you a very happy new course in Dakshinayan. Regards.
Thanks Franca
The New Year's picnic was without a doubt my favorite day while volunteering. The giant meals, and the plates made of leaves, I still tell stories about it. Glad to hear that tradition persists.
Terrible though to hear about Bruni. Please pass my condolences to Siddharth.
