Hi Donna and family,
Nice to hear from you! I just received your letters for the students today in the mail. ...
A few notes on the process for this year:
1) Two students - Ramadhani Chakoma and Hamisi Seif - finished Form 6 last month. So they are no longer at the school. I will call them and get an address to send their letters to, as they are not at Ndanda.
2) The other seven students were in Form 5 last year - you may recall that you selected 8 new students last year, and one of them was expelled from school. So we already have these 7 who you will sponsor this year. I will send them their letters once school opens back up, as they are currently on vacation.
4)...........
........This is $500 per student multiplied by the 10 students (seven current and three new ones who we will choose). You included an extra $1000 last year as 'emergency money', which we can use this year since it was never spent. Therefore, we will need you to send a check to Jiamini for the remaining $4000, whenever you have a chance. I've included my colleagues Elizabeth and Brad on this email so that they can know to expect a check in the mail. That is all for now, I hope you are all well!
