School supplies and a laptop for Joseph in Mukono
Joseph earned a place in Grade 9 at the Mukono Selective School; we're $150 short on required supplies.
🇺🇬 Mukono, Central Region, Uganda1,400 views
Joseph earned a place in Grade 9 at the Mukono Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $150, which is more than they have.
Joseph loves chemistry and wants to become a software developer. 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: $100
• School uniform and shoes: $15
• Textbooks and workbooks: $30
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5
If you're reading this, thank you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Joseph
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. laptop comes first ($100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
