I earned a place in Grade 9 at Surabaya International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $150, which is more than we have. I love coding and want to become a software developer. 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. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $150 goes: • Laptop: $105 • School uniform and shoes: $35 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Arief

  1. Small update. $85 so far, I made the first payment toward school uniform and shoes.

  2. Quick update: $25 raised so far (17%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($25 in total) I made the first payment toward calculator, stationery and a school bag. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
