Numbers fun at TGD

Just thought I’d share a bit of what I sort through for our children.

I remember each August as we got our children ready for school.

Nowadays that seems so profoundly easy, simple and straightforward.

The sheer numbers of our Kenyan children mean lots and lots of errands and counting.

Love motivates us!

I appreciate the team caring for our children! Let us do our part here and they will do their part there.

I’ve spared you the spread sheet but will happily send it to any interested readers.

 

 

Child Donor Expense list January 2014

Hi Stephanie,

Kindly go through the Child Donor Expense List for January 2014 as per attachment. Below this mail,I have shown the details of schools main requirements both in primary and high school.

In  column G, the amount paid in January, includes all the payments related to school. This includes fees, uniform, shoes and other school requirements. This make the fee paid in January higher than the fee for 1st semester. In high school children, I have included administration costs in payments but in primary, I left out together with general monthly supplies.

In column H, the fee for primary school 1st semester includes lunch program of beans and maize. The fee for high school children is as per the fee structure but for those who joined high school and boarding section, like Vallary and Moses, the fee includes admission costs like mattresses, blankets, boxes tuition money and other things already purchased. Jane and Vivian are in the same school but the fee is different. This is because Jane is a candidate and has extra fee levies like examination registration and other assessment exams.

In column I, the fee for high school includes items purchased in February like text books for Alice and shoes for other children, Sharon inclusive.

The other expenses like food stuff, medical , clothing and personal items are not included anywhere but we can include in column Kin the  later report.

Apart from the school fees both for primary and high schools, we have grouped school requirements as shown below:

                                High school requirements per year

Uniform 2 pairs                100

Sweater  1 pair                   15

Shoes  2 pairs                      50

Text books (at minimum)  40

Socks    6 pairs                      15

Calculator                              10

Log table                                  6

Photocopy papers 6 reams 45

Geometrical set                     6

Spring files                             12

Pocket money                       30

Administration                     30

Total                                     360         

These are the main key requirements not including admission costs for students joining new schools.

                                Primary school requirements per year

Feeding program              30

School package                 15

Uniform 2 pars                  30

School sweater 1 pair       15

School shoes 2 pairs          40

Socks 6 pairs                       15

Total                                   145

These are the main requirements for primary schools not including food stuff, medication clothing and other monthly related items.

There are other requirements in some schools that may occur during the year both in primary and high school like study tours and agricultural shows which ranges from 25 for high school and 15 for primary every year. I have not included this on the report.

I  will be waiting to hear from you for any changes to make.I can also fill the remaining column with your approval of the other columns.

Have a blessed day,

Henry.
