We also have three watchmen. As of this writing we are looking for another. No volunteers here! You must be Indian and over 70 years old to be a watchman for Opportunity Foundation India.
 

Nine of our children have graduated from our school and have been placed in Valerian School, a private Catholic English medium school. All our students that qualify and can pass the Valerian entrance exams continue their education there. In 2009 all our graduates qualified, so they are all there. One is already section leader for her class!
