Brilliant

Brilliant started boarding school two weeks ago. I was talking with her mom yesterday, and she said Brilliant's doing really well. Their family makes much less than even our pathetic salary, and so there is no way that she would have been able to go to secondary school. Except for a very kind man in Canada named David Ford - who sent money for her school fees and uniform, etc. We are grateful to our friend David, because to be honest, it seemed a shame for a girl named Brilliant to have to finish school after grade 7. Poverty is a massive problem and it is not solved for this family, but at least Brilliant is in school.

I just posted a photo of her in her nice new uniform in our photo gallery. There are also some pics of Christmas, our trip to kumusha and Guruve.
