I earned a place in Form 4 at Johannesburg Girls' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $300, which is more than we have.
I love mathematics and want to become a pilot. A laptop will let me do coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
I'll take care of everything you give me and I promise to work hard.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $300 goes:
• Laptop: $200
• School uniform and shoes: $40
• Textbooks and workbooks: $40
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $20
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zinhle.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. laptop comes first ($200) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
