Best in the State?




Last month, the State office visited to assess the quality of the school. Our Rainbow School is now in the running for the best in the state. We set the goal to be best in the state in 2014. This is a little early, but the teachers say they are more than ready. We should hear back from the state office before the new years. Keep your fingers crossed for them!

Congratulations Students, Teachers, and Headmistress Vijaya Laxmi! Thank you to Anita, our sponsor, and Kalpana, our co-founder, for all their support and love. You ladies are the angels of the Rainbow School.

Our New After School Center

Rambabu, the Pratham leader for our state (Telangana) and his team are amazing.

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!
