I earned a place in Grade 9 at Heliopolis Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $150, which is more than we have. I love chemistry and want to become a software developer. A laptop will let me do coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. I'll take care of everything you give me and I promise to work hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $150 goes: • Laptop: $70 • School uniform and shoes: $30 • Textbooks and workbooks: $40 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Kamal

  1. Update from Heliopolis: I made the first payment toward calculator, stationery and a school bag. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
