I am wondering do you still keep in touch with Peace Corps volunteers or know of any deaf educators/schools for the Deaf in Rongai/Migori? Would love any connections if you have them for a family with a child who needs services.

The kids mostly write/read in KSL but feel free to write the teachers. Address your letter to a member of staff you met here. <br /><br />Please refrain from sending items until you have confirmation from whom ever you choose to write. The school is required to pay customs fees on items sent, with funds we don't have. Ask which ever teacher you contact if they are willing to pay for items themselves before you send anything( other then letters).G.

Thanks so much for reading this and for ...Hey Guys,<br />Thanks so much for reading this and for your interest; it seriously means a lot to me. The cost for one year of school is about 300 dollars. My only concern to complete secondary school (high school) he would need this every year. Eventually I would like to find him a sponsor through the Kenya Education Fund http://www.kenyaeducationfund.org/ for the total duration of his schooling; but for now school begins in 2 weeks. Through Danica's idea it would be roughly 15 dollars if 20 people contributed; for this year. I looking into something with pay pal but I have to check Peace Corps regulations about this. I'll get back to you as soon as I know. Thanks so much for your help, and if you know anyone else who is interested, please forward this post! <br />You guys are amazing! <br />GinnieG.
