Epe
Sade earned a place in Form 4 at Epe Science Academy, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $100, which is more than they have. Sade loves robotics and wants to become a doctor. 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 $100 goes: • Laptop: $45 • Textbooks and workbooks: $50 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5 With deep gratitude, Yinka
