Update on the Funeral for Julius' Son

The money arrived safely today and Julius is arranging to have him buried either Wednesday or Thursday.

Just an aside ... sending via Western Union is very expensive. Does anyone know of a safe efficient cheap way to send money? Usually I send it to a friend who is in Kenya six months of the year; it is sent to a Canadian address and the friend in Kenya accesses that fund.but this time that was not possible.

I am always concerned about sending money because the Lions' Club sent $500 for a year of a boy's education when school fees were not covered by the government ... through a Lions Club there ... and it disappeared into the banking system. I took the second donation of $1000 to cover two years when I went over and paid the boy's fees.
