Enrolling Jesús in School- A Team Effort

I finally received a reply to my question about what it would take to get my sponsored child from Mexico, Jesús, enrolled in school. It only took about 8 1/2 weeks to get the reply, but I am not a patient person. It's something I am working really hard on, and I'm getting better, but still, when it involves my sponsored kids, I am anxious for any kind of news!
I learned that there are a few challenges that we will have to work together to face. First of all, on their own (and even with assistance from Children International), Jesús's family cannot afford the school fees, uniform fees, costs of school supplies, transportation, etc, to send him to school. I am more than willing to help with that part. Another obstacle is that apparently Jesús does not have a birth certificate. This isn't uncommon among poor families in Mexico. (Article: http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/mexico/barrier.htm)
To get Jesús into school, one of his parents will have to go downtown and obtain an "inexistence letter". This letter states that Jesús was not born in Jalisco, and was not registered where he was born, and therefore has no birth certificate from anywhere. The cost for this will be $16.16, which I am going to happily provide. It's just so amazing- to me, $16 is almost nothing. It's about what I make in one hour of work. To Jesús's family, it's about 13% of their monthly income.
Once the family has this letter, Jesús can be enrolled in school...however, enrollment for the 2010 school year has closed and it is impossible to get him into school this year. So Jesús will be able to begin school in September 2011.
I'm not thrilled that he'll be spending another year out of school, but I am trying to take a long-term view of things. The first step is getting the letter, and I'm going to try to make that as easy as possible for Jesús's family. I plan on making a Special Needs Gift to cover the cost of the letter, with some extra funds for whatever the family might need most. This family is really needy- they live on just $125 a month, which is an extremely low income for a sponsored child's family in Mexico. Most of the CI sponsored children I've seen on the site have incomes in the $200s-$400s. So I really want to help out however I can, and now that I have this new job, with my 50% pay raise, I'm in a position to be able to do so.
