If you squint, you can see them


OK, look at the lady in the coral farthest from the camera...squint and try again? That is Rangoo Madam, our new volunteer. She found room at the Google Hyderabad office and pulled in our teachers for English class. But an English class with awesome technology!

Here she is again, this time you can see her. Look at the happy teachers! This will help with teacher retaining, plus help us move towards the goal of English Medium (in part) at the Rainbow School.






THANK YOU RANGOO!

Our school is a government-funded, local-language (Telugu) school that serves 230 children every day absolutely free. We celebrated by opening  an after-school center last month with the best education NGO in the world, Pratham. For the past five years, I've worked on research projects and helped NGOs that have an interest in developing mobile tools for learning.

Most are out of school for one or more of these reasons: conflict/no public services (fragile state), lack of legal papers, migrants, or they are female. Migration is a big issue in our area around the Rainbow School. 2. 200 million children globally are in school, but suffer from poor in-class teaching. These students cannot read at grade level.

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!
