We received these thank you notes from Tanzania in yesterday's post. Now we are watching a violent popular movie on tv, while I post these to the web. Life can be so disconcerting!
Please ignore the poor English, and try to understand the underlying message. Although the educational language for upper education in Tanzania is English, the students do not begin to learn English until they are in high school. Any student that is accepted to Ndanda Secondary School is among the top students in the country. The students are assigned randomly to Ndanda, they do not have the choice of what school to attend.
Many of the students are in the same situation as these scholarship recipients -smart enough, but no money. The scholarship we give them is $500/year, and that is enough for school fees, eats, uniforms, books and some extra cash.
