Adama
Teklu earned a place in the first year of senior school at Adama Girls' High School, 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 $110, which is more than they have. Teklu loves biology 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 $110 goes: • Laptop: $75 • Textbooks and workbooks: $30 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Ephrem

    Wishing you peace, Ephrem. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings

    • Thanks for sharing this, Ephrem. Looking forward to the next update.

      • Thinking of you and your family, Ephrem. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. It's not much but it's yours!

        • Stay strong, Ephrem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.

          • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Teklu.

            • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. laptop comes first ($75) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

          • Hope things get better soon, Ephrem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page
