Figures and numbers

A short update on the sponsoring fund:
Preschoolers and 6th-graders are not included in the sponsoring fund, so far it's only for grade 1 to 5 (CI to CM1). As we started in the middle of the school year (January 2008), we thought the 6th-graders were going to leave the school in a few months anyway, that's why we didn't include them.

In May, I brought 47,000 CFA to the school for the sponsoring fund, the highest amount so far.

The sum was then equally divided by 24, for the 24 neediest kids of the school. 
I'll do the math for you: it amounts to 1958 CFA (roughly €3) per child. 

For the younger students, this represents nearly 2/3 of the tuition fee. For the older students it's 1/3.  I am aiming at a monthly amount of 90,000 CFA, which will then be divided un-equally among the students, in order to pay 2/3 of the tuition for each of the 24 children - and maybe we can also add a couple more kids.
