Akash won a place at Bengaluru Technical College but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in Grade 9 at Bengaluru Technical College, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $200, which is more than we have. I love chemistry and want to become a nurse. A laptop will let me do coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. I'll take care of everything you give me and I promise to work hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $200 goes: • Laptop: $115 • School uniform and shoes: $35 • Textbooks and workbooks: $35 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $15 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Akash

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 11% funded and the plan for school uniform and shoes is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($17 in total) the plan for calculator, stationery and a school bag is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

                Take care, Akash. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
