School supplies and a laptop for Karina in Bogotá
Karina earned a place in Year 11 at the Bogotá Selective School; we're $350 short on required supplies.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia301 views
Karina earned a place in Year 11 at the Bogotá Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $350, which is more than they have.
Karina loves biology and wants to become an engineer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
She will take care of everything given and works very hard.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $350 goes:
• Laptop: $160
• School uniform and shoes: $70
• Textbooks and workbooks: $80
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $40
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn!
thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
wishing you peace, Francisco. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 30 people at work. Take care
Wishing you peace, Francisco. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from El Paso.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Likoni this morning. Blessings
You're not alone, Francisco. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. All the best
This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Bekasi
