Indira Gandhi

 

 

Jawaharlal Nehru brought his little daughter Indira to Ecolint in 1926.

"When Mrs. Indira Gandhi visited the USA in 1952 with her father, Miss (Florence) Fake wrote her a letter asking if she remembered the International School of Geneva. She had a prompt answer and an invitation to a reception at the Indian Embassy. Mrs. Gandhi recognized her old teacher at once. She said that she remembered her time at Ecolint as one of the happiest years of her life, and that she had learned a lot of French there, which had stood her in good stead at international meetings."

"Je puis ajouter ici que Mme. Indira Gandhi lors d'un passage à Genève a invité son autre professeur, Mlle. Hartoch, à venir la voir" - Marie-Thérèse Maurette
