Today I am attempting to figure out how and when to shop for the secondary students and I seem to be saying to myself “if only”.
If only secondary schools would distribute the calling letters in a timely manner, preferably more than a few days before the student has to report to school! We may not get a couple of letters until Friday and will only know at that time when the student actually has to report to school. Which means the particulars of their shopping list won’t be known until that time either.
If only I could communicate easily over the phone. Trying to call a shop owner to get items ready for me to pick up is difficult because when I call, the connection (network) is sporadic, conversations cut in and out and you just never know what exactly the other person is hearing or not hearing.
I could really go on but instead I must work with the system that is here and move forward with no more “if only’s”. This is the system, period. Not to say it doesn’t frustrate me though! Praying these secondary students will become Godly, moral men and women and make a difference in their country some day.
I’m thankful for everyone who has helped with the funding for these kids to attend school (please visit our donation site if you too would like to help with fees or shopping). Many others will not have this opportunity for secondary education simply because of lack of funds….if only the government would make education a priority and….oh, wait never mind, just moving forward to what can be done today, tomorrow, Friday…God willing!
