Ochieng earned a place in the first year of senior school at Dar es Salaam Science Academy, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $150, which is more than they have. Ochieng loves coding and wants to become an engineer. 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 $150 goes: • Laptop: $65 • School uniform and shoes: $35 • Textbooks and workbooks: $40 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $10 If you're reading this, thank you.
