Rafael earned a place in Year 10 at Cebu City Girls' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $200, which is more than they have. Rafael loves graphic design and wants to become an engineer. 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 $200 goes: • Laptop: $75 • School uniform and shoes: $45 • Textbooks and workbooks: $35 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $45 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Jenny

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($102 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 45% now ($90). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts.
