Beatrice continued to be an excellent student and won a scholarship to a high school in Kampala,the capital of Uganda. While Beatrice was a student there in 2001, Beatrice’s Goat was published and became a very poplar New York Times bestseller. Beatrice was asked by Heifer to go on a book tour to the United States. While on this trip, she met a woman, Rosalee Sinn, who would become a great help to her. Ms. Sinn and others helped her obtain a full scholarship to attend the Northfield Mount Hermon School in Massachuestts, a private preparatory school that had a program to help international students make the transition to college. For Beatrice, perhaps the biggest adjustment was the weather. She has never experienced c old weather before.
