Pretoria

Rashid earned a place in Year 11 at Pretoria Science Academy, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $150, which is more than they have. Rashid loves biology and wants to become a nurse. 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: • School uniform and shoes: $55 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $15 • Textbooks and workbooks: $80 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Busisiwe
