Note, sales of the Mercedes Maybach ($300k) have been disappointing, showing that even those who can afford super-luxury are comfortable with and can live with cars that costs around $100,000 only. By my estimate, landing a Bugatti in Kenya after clearing with KRA would cost about 153 million shillings.<BR/><BR/>Also: the Iranian president is quite a cartoon character, but one with nuclear power. <BR/><BR/>One African Woman: Ultimately the system is cruel, but the reality is that almost half the kids won't gain secondary school places. <BR/><BR/>Ultimately it takes individual instituions to recognize true talent like Starehe schools which target under-previledged kids and the Jomo Kenyatta Foundation which has now offered to pay high school fees for orphaned kids who perform well. <BR/><BR/>But, as you said, the mixture/interaction/bonding of kids from different cultures, trines, and parts of the country is one positive benefit of the program.bankelelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180926084939364063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-1136876228796728842006-01-10T09:57:00.000+03:002006-01-10T09:57:00.000+03:00About selection process for National schools:I've ...About selection process for National schools:<BR/><BR/>I've always been torn about it. The year I went to form one, way back in 1984, was the first year that the system of apportioning places to various provinces for admission into National Schools was instituted. <BR/><BR/>As a result, only ten of us were admitted from Nairobi to my high school which was a national school, and our class included girls from far flung parts of Kenya like Turkana and Marsabit. <BR/><BR/>In the beginning, I was more than a little ticked off, many of us were. But then, after a while, I began to interact with one of the girls in particular. She was from Turkana, her name was Roslyn,she was in my house. The more I learned about her, the more I understood the odds she had had to overcome so early in her life and the more I understood what the newly instituted selection system was trying to achieve. <BR/><BR/>Sadly, the selection system still isn't perfect. It still doesn't, for example, differentiate between the child who's gone through their school in one of Nairobi's own hardship areas like Mathare, and any other Nairobi candidate. <BR/><BR/>But in the end, I get the parents who are taking their kids to rural schools in order to improve their children's chances of being admitted to national schools as well.Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161682859673971406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-1136558588875783212006-01-06T17:43:00.000+03:002006-01-06T17:43:00.000+03:00Happy new year man,1.2 mil, even for a toy that is...Happy new year man,<BR/><BR/>1.2 mil, even for a toy that is high up there. i guess if it runs out gas they bring the gas station to you..<BR/><BR/>lmao@ kalembe ndile as president..i have never seen worse than the iranian president, even dubya with all his ignorance is MILES ahead of him...patheticMsanii_XLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08949801282173527770noreply@blogger.com
