The Snake Show!

Last Friday, there was a Snake Show at the school! Some guys from Surat came out to Kadod, and brought along several snakes, and it was quite a sensation at the school. Almost the entire afternoon hours were devoted to setting up and watching the show. I took some photos of the event, so enjoy!

There were hundreds of students patiently waiting for the show to begin. Despite the heavy clouds, it didn't rain, and it was really hot and humid. But it didn't matter to the kids--they were out for the snakes!

Most of the younger kids were on the ground, while the older kids watched from the balconies of the school.


The guys from Surat started warming up the crowd...

These students were perched up on a ledge. They were clamoring to have their picture taken, so after many shouts of "Teacher! Teacher! Our photo! Teacher!" I finally obliged.

The first of the snakes came out, and the boys were scared!

So was Charishma.

Then, they started bringing out the big snakes. This one is a python.

And here, a type of boa.



All in all, a great afternoon!
