Gulu
Kariuki earned a place in Year 11 at Gulu Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $150, which is more than they have. Kariuki loves coding and wants to become an architect. 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: $95 • Textbooks and workbooks: $35 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $20 Thanks for being kind about this.
