I left the Rainbow School a little over one week ago. I miss everyone just so, so much. They don't really need me anymore! But I need them. My heart is so happy to see everything is going well, the operating tempo fits the resources at hand.

Warning, the following has shaky camera work. They were learning "A" as in "A is for Apple." They are eating Apples! Thank you, Roy, for the donation for the apples.

Our New After School Center

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!
