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

I earned a place in Grade 9 at Gqeberha Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $150, which is more than we have.
I love coding and want to become a teacher. 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 $150 goes:
• Textbooks and workbooks: $60
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $30
• School uniform and shoes: $60
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
