Iwan earned a place in Grade 9 at the Jakarta Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $155, which is more than they have. Iwan loves chemistry and wants to become an architect. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $155 goes: โ€ข Laptop: $100 โ€ข School uniform and shoes: $25 โ€ข Textbooks and workbooks: $25 โ€ข Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Aditya
