Byaruhanga earned a place in Year 11 at the Arusha Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $65, which is more than they have. Byaruhanga loves design and technology and wants to become a teacher. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $65 goes: • School uniform and shoes: $30 • Textbooks and workbooks: $30 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5 Thanks for being kind about this. - Okello

        • Rooting for you, Okello. Hope this works out for you. After 10 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          • Praying for you, Okello. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

            • Sending love, Okello. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
