Some Wonderful Students

Summer school has been a good success...they even have a new garden at the temporary quarters! They are planting gourds, carrots, and spinach! This is all going on in my absence, my first long break and I miss everyone so much!

To help me feel closer to the action, here are some pictures of some of our wonderful students. Just had to post them. This is Devi. Next is Venkatesh' school picture. What a rascal. Then is a group picture of a typical day at our temporary quarters. Last is one of the two pairs of our idential twins in preschool. The other set are girls.

We celebrated by opening  an after-school center last month with the best education NGO in the world, Pratham.

Our New After School Center

Rambabu, the Pratham leader for our state (Telangana) and his team are amazing. The Rainbow School now has an after school center, and after school tutoring program, and an in-school teacher training program. The after school program now has computer training! These computers will be used for some of the older kids, and I'm sure we'll get a lot more tech once things start rolling. 1. We now have four teachers working full-time at our after school center.  2. In the after school program, we have over 40 students and expect 20 more teenagers when computer and English instruction officially begin. 3. Letters to our sister school in Miami continue. 4. Our Rainbow School continues to host after-school activities as well!
