Mardan
Saad earned a place in Grade 9 at Mardan Boys' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $100, which is more than they have. Saad loves design and technology 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. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $100 goes: • Textbooks and workbooks: $30 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $10 • Laptop: $60 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 85% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. 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.

  3. Quick update: $30 raised so far (30%). the plan for laptop is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
