To pay Graces school fee turned out to be a challenge. First I had to send my dad to the bank to deposit the check. I gave him a letter stating that it was for Graces school fee. I called George in Excellent, who said I needed to give her the check deposit slip, but thought it would be enough to scan the slip and e-mail it to the school. Because of traveling over the holidays, I was a bit late to pay, and got worried that they would not admit her. I decided to call the school, but no one was answering the phone. I finally asked my driver to take the slip to Mathare and give it to Grace, to make sure there would be no problems. I was happy to hear that he'd found her and given her the slip, just a few hours before she was going bak to the school. I also learned that the sponsors for two other girls will have to wait for another week. That is when the results from the national exams come in. I still feel good that I'm going to help sponsor three girls through secondary school. Grace is now in form two and doing fine! I'm proud of her and got a lovely letter from her for the holidays!
