Yamuna School

Our main school is located where it all started, by the Yamuna river, where children in the neighboring community of Keshi Ghaat sell flowers to the many pilgrims who come to pay their obeisance to the holy river. With their wild spirits and tenacity for life to the fullest, these particular children have been the inspiration behind Lavender Jaq. Though they don't have access to proper education and many run their flower business as a necessity, they have a special power to learn through first-hand experience. Art education serves their natural inclinations to explore and innovate while nurturing their creative intelligence. The goal is to expand upon the positive advantages of their lifestyle and business while carving more time and resources for proper schooling. We look forward to many more years with the Yamuna Kids as they grow up to better their community and a new generation blossoms.
