Autor/-in: Sarojini Bertha Peters

I was born in a happy, devout Christian home at Bareilly, India, on the 2nd of February. My parents named me Sarojini Bertha. Sarojini is a Sanskrit word for a lotus blossom, which is also the Indian National flower. In the early years, England had very few Christians. Bertha was one devout one. She was a queen, and greatly influenced the spread of her religion in South East England. I was named after her. I was educated at the Queen Victoria Girls High School at Agra, and continued at the Isabella Thoburn College, at Lucknow, India; receiving B. A. , B. Ed. I taught in Indian schools for a few years, before coming to London, England. I have had the great privilege to teach in schools of all ages and of all abilities. My greatest reward in my career was teaching the Partially Hearing Children. I am now retired, and live in a comfortable home, with friendly neighbours and beautiful, quiet and peaceful surrounds.
