Sixteen-year-old Arvint R Ganesan and his fellow students who live at Rumah Pengajian Xavier have been raising funds by selling plants to buy their own computers.

“We sold plants to raise funds because we wanted to be independent and not just ask for money or donations to buy the laptops,“ says Arvint who is a Form Four student at LaSalle School Petaling Jaya. “Since we already grow a lot of plants to beautify our home, we thought why not share our plants so that others can beautify houses too."
