It's been exactly one month and 2 weeks since the one dollar project began and I must say, the response and participating has been amazing. Thank you to all who have contributed in the last month!! We could not be happier and are truly grateful for everybody's help! The people in Kenya at the Africa Children Education Fund are more than grateful for everybody's generous spirit!! Especially at a time when there is a lot of uncertainty within the country.

The ACEF organization is in a safe region with little violence and rioting occuring. But they have family and friends in other regions and so I ask for everyone to continue to pray for peace soon.

The children are to return to school this week after a delayed opening due to the violence. They are excited and eager to get back - school is a luxury for them. Something not to be taken for granted. To wear a school uniform - is not just mere clothing for them, but a status symbol, a matter of life and safety.

It's difficult for us here to imagine the importance of a uniform. We think it's no different than another child with no uniform. But it is much bigger and much more important than that. A uniform separates the street children with the other children. A uniform means you get treated just a little bit better. The chances of getting helped by a stranger if lost, or in trouble is a little better. Life is a little better with a uniform and makes a huge difference in the life of a child.

My goal is to get more and more children in uniforms. Public or private school, it doesn't matter, all children in Kenya wear uniforms to school. So what would you do? How far would you go for a uniform?
