Back to School – Chip in for Gladys’ school fees
I struggled with whether to blog this or not, but decided that Kenyan bloggers are a wonderful bunch and would welcome an opportunity to do something good for a fellow Kenyan. So much so that its not a good idea for this to be something that just a few blogger pals do, but that we get others to chip in.
For those of us who grew up in Kenya, we understand that the KCSE (Kenya Certificate Secondary Examination) is one of the most important tests for all students in the Kenyan school system.The pressure, the frayed nerves, the ‘trans-nighting’. Imagine the test being 1 month away and you are being kicked out of school because the school fees have not been paid and you do not have means of raising the Kshs 43,000 ($615) so you can take the exam. This is the situation that Gladys finds herself in. We have a short time, and I believe we can get her fee paid so she can sit for her exam. Josiah – The Alpha Quadrant got the ball rolling and has provided all the info we need in order to fulfill this through the remittance service Mamamikes, with the money going directly to her school. For Glady’s privacy kindly email jmugambi at gmail dot com or myself afromusing at gmail dot com and we can give you her full name and details to enter in the mamamikes page for fee remittance. Might change the post to include all the info, but for now lets just err on the side of privacy. Lets get Gladys back to school now shall we?
Kshs 5530 donated already, Kshs 37470 ($535) to go.
Update 9/25/08: Amount remaining is Ksh 27400 and pledges from the community total Ksh 20,000
