Hello I am Tom Kenda.

I am 19 years old and I am currently (april 2017) in Kenya (to volunteer during 3months). I met Samuel, 18 years old. He is very friendly and smart.He went to school until the 1st term of grade 6 but he is now stuck because he hasn't enough money to keep going.His father being no longer alive he has to keep the sheep everyday to earn $65 CAD a month which is helping his mother and the rest of the family to live (or survive).
He has never asked me any money but I really want to help him!
I have seen a lot of fundraising going very well and I really like the idea so I chose this option: asking for a bit of generosity to allow my friend to go to school.
Concretely: I have about 500 friends on Facebook ➡️ if each of you save a Mc Donald or buy a bit less beer for te next party or finds some coins in the bottom of a bag or a drawer ... In brief if each of you find $7: we will be able to pay Samuel's school fees (6 years and a half).

In this village of Kenya I also became friends with the principal of a nearby school. That's the person I will send the money to and she will supervise and tell me if everything is all right.

Here are the details about the fees: 

#End of primary school :
-Grade 6: T2 (=term 2) + T3 = 13.000 KES (Kenyan Shillings)
-Grade 7 : T1+ T2 +T3 = 19.500 KES 
-Grade 8 : 19.500 KES

#High School:
T1 : 18.000 KES 
T2 : 20.000 KES
T3 : 27.000  KES

And if I collect more than this, this money will go to the school itself because they really need a lot of materials.
