Alcalá de Henares
I earned a place in Year 10 at Alcalá de Henares 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 $600, which is more than we have. I love coding and want to become a pilot. 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 $600 goes: • Laptop: $280 • School uniform and shoes: $140 • Textbooks and workbooks: $115 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $65 If you're reading this, thank you. - Graciela

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Graciela?

      Thank you. If you're in Alcalá de Henares I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
