Lunch with Grace

Today I had lunch with Grace and Nancy. My mother and her friend who is sponsoring Nancy through high school was also there. It was lovely to meet the girls and they told us about the hard work in the school. The have eleven subjects! And gets up at 4.30 to study, then have a break for breakfast. After lunch they clean their clothes and the dorms. At night they do homework until 10.30 and it's lights out at 11.00. I just asked them: So when do you sleep?
They are getting used to the routine and even now, back in Nairobi they wake up really early. I asked them if they wanted to go to university and they answered: yeeees. I asked them if they wanted to go in Nairobi and they said: Nooooooo. Europe or America would be good! I told the to continue to work hard and make me proud, and they promised to do so! I'm happy to be able to sponsor Grace through high school and I'm sure she will do well. She is very outspoken and smart. We bought them each a nice top and som crisps and candy and a nice lunch with hamburgers! A nice day in Gigiri!
