Chidi earned a place in Year 10 at the Badagry Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $150, which is more than they have. Chidi loves mathematics 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: $25 • Textbooks and workbooks: $40 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $20 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Chiamaka

Updates from Chiamaka

  1. Quick update: $102 raised so far (68%). the plan for calculator, stationery and a school bag is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
