Niluka earned a place in the first year of senior school at the Jaffna Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $200, which is more than they have. Niluka loves coding and wants to become a marine biologist. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. She will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $200 goes: • Laptop: $105 • School uniform and shoes: $40 • Textbooks and workbooks: $35 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $20 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
