From Casey McNamara:
Yesterday we went to Sevalaya, a school, elderly care facility, and an orphanage. We spent most of the day in the classrooms with the children. I was so happy to see how proud each student was of their work. They all seemed so happy to be in school and to be learning. They were excited to learn about us. They asked us about our names, jobs, lucky number and color, national bird and flower. Shea and I even sang our national anthem upon the children's request.
The program was astounding, Sevalaya has done so much to help educate their children. It is located in a rural area of the state. Rural areas have a hard time maintaining the same level of education as urban areas. Sevalaya, however, has been able to push their students and their educational standards so that they can have test scores equal to the students of urban areas, even though they lack some facilities and funding.
It was a very uplifting experience. This organization sought out to do so much, and in a short time has achieved many of their goals.
