Kumari is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Colombo Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $400. The registrar has said Kumari can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Kumari has a top-ten-percent average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Kumari would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Kumari isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Colombo Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $400 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $20 • Textbooks and materials: $15 • Final term tuition: $365 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • You're not alone, Lakshmi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Paris but we're thinking of you. Blessings!
