I made a map of the school from what I got from George in our last meeting. It is very confusing, but I think I got it right! It is kind of important, because now we know which rooms we need to buy (somehow it changes from meeting to meeting). George says that we really need money and patience - we will get all the rooms we want, eventually.... In the end he thinks that the last few families are going to feel overtaken by the school - and they will sell. We just have to wait. There is lots of problems with buying the rooms. The las rooms we bought were more expensive than the previous. The locals know there are "muzungus" funding the school and they want more money. On the other hand, these people need to feed their families as well, so even if we pay more, the money is very much needed. I still don't know how to think about this. I want the rooms, but if we pay an "overprice" that family might have food, school fees, and money for other useful things that they could not afford. Why not charge? Why not pay? It is, pretty much, all for a good cause!?
