Souad's school year: uniform, books and a laptop
Souad won a place at Surrey Girls' High School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

Souad earned a place in Year 11 at Surrey Girls' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $1,050, which is more than they have.
Souad loves design and technology and wants to become a marine biologist. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
She 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 $1,050 goes:
• Laptop: $510
• School uniform and shoes: $195
• Textbooks and workbooks: $270
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $75
Every share and every dollar helps.

We're at 33% thanks to 15 of you. the plan for laptop is now scheduled. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($240 in total) the plan for school uniform and shoes is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thanks for sharing this, Marwan. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope it all works out, Marwan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in London this morning. Love from London
sending good thoughts, Marwan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thanks for sharing this, Marwan. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Mumbai!
Wishing you peace, Marwan. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Athens.
