Sarada teaches the Nursury class at Niharika, while Nirmala moves from class to class as needed. I was talking to them about taking their photo together, but they needed a little convincing.
I really like the smiles in the candid "convincing" shot that I got (above).

Balaju, Kathmandu 2011
I first got to know the teachers of Niharika Shishu Kunja High School in 2005. I think it was because I was walking by when they were putting on an outdoor student talent show.
People from the area and passersby from Ring Road lined the fence around the school, watching as students performed intricate dance routines. I too looked in, and I think I was invited inside.
Sarada and Shanta teach the school's youngest children (see below), while I believe Anju teaches one of the higher grades.
The school is a caring, welcoming place—and I'm glad the students have it.
