Help Marlene start the school year with the right tools
Marlene won a place at the Durban Selective School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇿🇦 Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa410 views
Marlene earned a place in Year 11 at the Durban Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $300, which is more than they have.
Marlene loves biology and wants to become a teacher. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
She 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 $300 goes:
• Laptop: $165
• School uniform and shoes: $45
• Textbooks and workbooks: $55
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Durban.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Good luck. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'll check back for the next update.
Thinking of you and your family, Thandi. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
