Anderson earned a place in Grade 9 at Porto Alegre International 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 $350, which is more than they have.
Anderson loves design and technology and wants to become a teacher. 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 $350 goes:
• School uniform and shoes: $40
• Textbooks and workbooks: $95
• Laptop: $215
Thanks for reading all this.
