Reconciliation from dead ends trip

I took one of the students, Scholastica, home to gather a few documents, which were to help start the process of a aquiring an identification card. The journey started at 9:00pm and we went all the way to smoothly to Nakuru town, which one of the towns outside Nairobi but as we reached this small town in the great rift valley the road started to be dumppy and full of postholes to near aonther town called Kisumu.and the all journey took us the all night to reach her grandmother's place which is also far from the main road and we had to be carried by bicycles from the Siaya town which is also another town far from Nairobi which i had to pay eighty shillings for each of us and that not up to the grandmother's place, a light from the bicycles and again walk a distance of about 3 kilo metres to reach her place. We walked on the equaterial sun which rise up every early in morning tied from the long trip and also sleepy on the arrival the grandmothers place we did not find her and Schola had to go and look for her and it took her three hours to get her grandmother,after her coming she greeted me and welcomed me to her home and she did her few left morning chores.

We had an introduction session and she asked me a few things about myself and what i do for living and where i come from, and thanked me so much for bringing her granddaughter home because she did not know the whereabouts of Schola and was thinking that she had died long time ago. But before that long i had to do RECONCILITION between schola and the grandmother because the grandmother was fed with wrong information about schola and she talk me that if is was not for accompaning her home she would have not welcomed her home. i also went ahead and told her about made in the streets which is where schola is schooling. i also met her aunt who brought her to Nairobi where she was mistreated and made to take care of the babies, which led to her to report the matter to the police and the aunt and the husband to be arrested and she was taken to the children's juveniles court and was sent to remand and when the aunt heard that she was around she was not happy and she asked me alot of questions and gave her answers but she was not satisfied with them from the look that i saw on her face. Many thanks from Schola and the grandmother for the friutful trip.

Sounds like a very tedious trip, but thank goodness for your patience. I'm glad reconciliation was made possible for Schola and her grandmother. Thanks for being a part of that and reporting this to the rest of us. Miss you all so much!! Love reading the reports! -Katera
