LEARNING WITH LOVE: TESTIMONY FROM PARENT AT LUNIS KINDERWORLD IN NEPAL

My name is Laxmi. I'm Hardik's mom. My son is 5 years old and last year he started class at one of the private schools in the area.

I ended up sending him for just 2 weeks. He was crying a lot because of school. He was really scared; even at night before going to bed he would start to cry and didn't want to sleep thinking about going to school the next day. I was really worried.

In our village, schools usually just write on the board and kids copy the information in their notebooks and memorize it. Many of them can get punished—such as being hit on their hands or legs—for not doing well. Every class has a large number of students so in the summer, it is very difficult for kids.

The first time I heard that Lunis Kinderworld would open, I didn't understand what the difference would be between it and our local schools. But once I started to bring my son to Lunis, I felt really good to see my son happy and excited about coming to study; everyday he hurries to school. Even on holidays or if he is sick he wants to come. At Lunis, kids learn with games, experiences, and love, and the classes learn in small groups. All these things make a big difference here.
