Success!

I got the message from my Sweden that we managed to raise the 120 000 kes needed for the two rooms in Mathare. We had to pay for the landlord to go down to Nairobi and negotiate the terms of the 4 rooms we wanted to buy. We already had money for two rooms, but needed more time to get the other two. Dixon managed to negotiate that we would get the other two if we payed before end of december. It was a bit stressful, not being sure of if we would be able to raise the money, but we made it, with a lot of help from a friend in Sweden. Now we can fully pay for the rooms and the next project is to raise funds to rebuild them and build desks and blackboards. I am still very surprised that a small room with corrugated iron sheets as walls and no floors can cost as much as 60 000 kes each. But I guess that there is a lot of people in the slums, so the rooms become very expensive.
