22 New Students Chosen for Buddha’s Smile School New School Year Which Open in July
Last week Buddha’s Smile School founder/director, Rajan Kaur, visited a neighborhood of garbage collectors to select several new students for the new school year which begins July, 2012. These are children who would not otherwise be going to school. This photo above shows several of the children who are giddy with delight at being chosen as one of the 22 new students. When you come to the last photo in this series you’ll see some of our current most advanced students. What a transformation our kids have while at BSS!
These photos show the ‘before’ and in a few years, if the families will commit to their children’s education, the students will be transformed into confident sharp kids ready for high school.
This boy looks eager to start school. It appears that his father is (possibly) blind.
I am so happy for this girl who will have the opportunity of an education. Her mother has had a hard painful life and we know this girl’s life can be much better because of BSS.
This child will start pre school. You may not recognize her in a photo in a few months for she’ll be shiny clean and in a uniform.

Rajan has pre-classes for the newly selected to teach them how to sit quietly in the class, and arrive clean clothing.
Friends, this is what the new students will look like in a few years! These are some of our middle school girls last week.
Here are our oldest boys now ready for high school. Don’t they look sharp and confident!
