Janet's school year: uniform, books and a laptop

Janet earned a place in Grade 9 at Dar es Salaam Technical College, 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 $50, which is more than they have. Janet loves robotics 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 $50 goes: • School uniform and shoes: $15 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $10 • Textbooks and workbooks: $25 With deep gratitude, Adhiambo
