Wesleyan U grad Jessica won the $100,000 to help educate girls in the slums of Kibera, Kenya. Thanks for your vote. I am so impressed by these young people and thrilled that DD#2 has been exposed to such a caring community. Dotty

My bet is that your post made the difference. Jessica was behind when you first posted, then shot ahead!

I hats off to Jessicas's parents. Did you see the photos of Kibera? I have a great need to help others, but my daughter out there. No way! I would be a nervous wreck!
