Saad's school year: uniform, books and a laptop
Saad earned a place in Grade 9 at Mardan Boys' High School; we're $100 short on required supplies.
Updates from Zainab
Thank you all. We're at 85% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($75 in total) the plan for textbooks and workbooks is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $30 raised so far (30%). the plan for laptop is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
