This past Tuesday we were able to award the children of Rainbow CDC with achievement awards based on this past school year. The 2013-2014 school year ended in July and this month is holiday for them. They will begin their new school year in September. Jeremy, CJ, SM, and I were able to attend the Chiseka Primary School's end of the year assembly in July. However the entire Rainbow staff wanted to join in recognizing the children.
Awards were given out for special recognition of certain students who had maintained appropriate dress code, good conduct, and good grades throughout the entire 2013-2014 school year.
We also presented the graduating Standard 8 students with a new Bible donated by Mrs. Paula Scianna through Ella's Light Children's Ministry in MS, USA. We are very thankful for the generous donation made my Mrs. Scianna and are blessed to be partnering with Ella's Light Children's Ministry to spread the Gospel to all the ends of the earth.

Special awards for receiving a 4 or 3 (equivalent to A or B) throughout the entire school year.
And of course no celebration would be complete without PIZZA and lemonade!
Please pray for our children and for the school situation here in Chiseka. A large majority of our children did receive high achievement awards. However there are some who are really struggling. And a further assessment of our children during this break has shown that many more are struggling than previously thought. Pray for guidance over the leaders of Rainbow that they will know how to best address the issues involved in the education of our precious children. Pray that all we say and do will ultimately bring Jesus alone the glory!
