Mthatha
Thabo earned a place in Form 4 at Mthatha International School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $250, which is more than they have. Thabo loves robotics and wants to become an architect. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He 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 $250 goes: • School uniform and shoes: $40 • Laptop: $140 • Textbooks and workbooks: $70 Every share and every dollar helps.

  1. Quick update: $168 raised so far (67%). I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Mthatha: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 73% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 67% now ($168). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for school uniform and shoes is now scheduled.
