Along with the brilliant kids of Kunil School...


We felt that today will be a quick day and that we will be done in no time at all. But it was 4.30 by the time we reached Kasargod. That was because we had to make 6 stops on the way to interacted with various groups on way to Kasargod. We spent time at the Kunil school kids at Uppala as well as Kumbla and we were astonished at the enthusiasm of the children (School run by Mr Kunil, who we had lunch with yesterday). First of all, we have to mention that the school itself is extremely modern and in a small place like that, the school has all facilities that a large school in a metro would have. We were so impressed with the children, especially the girls. They were so eager and proactive and showed so much interest in our expedition. They asked us lots of questions, all very intelligent questions. Most people have not asked questions like this in the past 1 month. We were amazed at their English and the way that they interacted with us. It was a great experience.

Apart from this we also went to the House of Mr Asif, where we had the sweetest tender coconut ever. There were 2 other groups that we met with and then also went to a Kendriya Vidhyalaya School on the way where they had organised a function for us. The day felt never ending and the heat and humidity made it tougher.

But in all, we had a good time. Stayed at a nice hotel at Kasargod, again organised by Mr Kunil. The Rotary team visited us in the evening and we had a good dinner with them. Slept well :)
