We've passed our P7 exams...now what?

Since the opening of Humble in 2004 the money sent to the school has gone to not only running the school on a daily basis for those who attend Humble as a day school as well as those who board there about 9 months out of the year, but also to help to alleviate the costs of secondary school for students who pass their P7 exams. While the school is typically running in the red, every year there has been enough money left to pay for the school fees for the Humble graduates. As humble grows the number of students leaving Humble increases, and while this is a fantastic accomplishment it also means that there are more students ready for secondary school but not more money. Sadly 2012 was the first year since opening its doors that Humble was not able to pay for the tuition of all of its graduates. It costs approximately $1500 US dollars a year for a student to go to secondary school. The children who did not receive sponsorship were asked to write letters about what they are doing now. I am having some trouble getting all of the letters up, but in the meantime here are just a few.
