Another Challenge: The State government decided that all teachers (junior teachers, too) had to pass 10th grade exams. It is very hard to find young men and women to work in a school in a slum who have passed 10th. We can find teachers who are training to pass 10th. Most of the Rainbow School teachers are training right now to take their 10th exams. But until they have a 10th pass certificate, no government salary support. No government salary support = big budget problem for the Rainbow School. (For an example of the difficulty of this exam click here .) The Good News: Our Kalpana and Vijaya Madams will try to get an exception to the rule by appealing to the MEO. And we found a temporary solution with a private donor. But it will only be for the rest of the school year. Other news: 1. We will send pictures later, but the veranda classrooms will have reinforced rain/sun shielding by the next month thanks to some American donors. 2. A lovely donation was made via Rangoo Madam:
