One Family

There is a girl who works in the office here. She serves tea and food to employees, does some cleaning and small secretarial tasks. She's 23. She's one of those people who always looks elegant, small and thin with perfect posture. She is quiet, friendly, and always smiling. Last week her sister died. Her mother had six children, but now all but two have died. Each sibling left a few more grandchildren in their mother's care, and now their household includes the grandmother, her 23 year old daughter, and eight grandchildren ranging in age from 7 to 20. The grandmother was the only one of her siblings to get an education, so she has always been the one to give financial support, never the one to receive it. Several of the grandchildren have finished high school but cannot continue on to college because of a lack of money. The 23 year old wants also to go to school but must work to pay school fees for the younger children ($30/term). I gave her some money today and told her I would help pay the school fees, I told her the money was from my friends and family. I just wanted to let you know that you have helped this family. Thank you.
