September means Back to School at RCE!

Last week students, teachers, administration and support staff all returned to school at Raza de SoaraThe Sunshine SchoolThe Sunshine School is RCE’s Arad campus school that serves 43 children and teens with disabilities.


Eight of our Sunshine School students live on campus in the Darius Houses, right next door to the school! Darius Housesare the three group homes that provide housing for children who have been abandoned. The remaining students come from the community – from families who have either adopted children from RCE, or are in need of the valuable special education provided by The Sunshine School.


Our students learn from dedicated and experienced teachers in a setting specifically designed to meet their needs and abilities.


RCE classrooms are warm and bright, and our teachers and staff are experienced and kind. The smiles on student’s faces show they are loved and well cared for. Our kids love coming to school! We’re thankful for our amazing RCE teachers and staff who go the extra mile to tirelessly serve day in and day out! 


RCE has two additional satellite school campuses in rural villages, that serve 19 children and teens with disabilities. The satellite classes were created for children from the Darius Houses who have been placed in permanent families in remote areas, and to provide for underserved children living in those communities.


Meanwhile, RCE’s Project Caring team has been very busy delivering 280 backpacks filled with new school supplies to families living in poverty. The families are so grateful for this help! RCE knows that helping children to succeed in school is an important step to break the cycle of poverty.
