Preschool Report
Our lovely preschool is ringed by large rocks, like the one on the right. In order to develop the land next door, the construction team needed to blast apart the big rocks into smaller rocks. Yesterday, the big rock on the left was blasted, just after the students left. No students were hurt, but as rock split it caused damage to a next door neighbor lying on the floor (she has polio) as well as our preschool.  She is fine now, but what a scare! The contractors are responding well, updates again soon. UPDATE: All is well, the little girl is healing up. The entire community flooded around the preschool with calls for the contractor to be careful.

On Monday, August 18, I was so happy to return to see the Rainbow School. The teachers have made a plan to shift from Telugu to English medium. My friend at Pratham, one of the largest education NGOs -- serving 5 million children in South Asia and Africa -- agreed to help my teachers. My co-partner, Kalpana, is taking the lead on a facilities upgrade. She will oversee an upgrade to the preschool and main building. Kalpana and I have found donors in India and the United States. The children were sharp, completely up on their marks. The teachers were creative, driven, relentless. More to come!

New Headmaster

Today we heard the news that our headmistress, Vijaya Laxmi, will be moving on to a new school. This suits the team at the Rainbow School very well, they needed a leader who was interested to engage the community. We do not know who our new headmaster will be, but we understand it will be a very senior man, one year from retirement. He will come with a junior who will take on the headmistress role after he leaves. More will come from our great, fabulous Mandal Education Officer, Jaganmohan Chary. Here is a picture of our first headmistress, Usha Rani, who was a stellar leader and has volunteered to help with the transition to the new headmaster.
