The School Bus

Hello dear Friends,

With the Christmas rush long behind us, we can now persevere into continuing where we left off last year. Some of you might be aware that one of our big wishes for 2010 was to acquire some sort of reliable transport for the preschooler’s to the centre and back to home again. I use the word was because it is literally what it is, WAS. With the help of very special people, GAGA-UK and some wonderful ladies from the Hillcrest area, our wish has become a reality and we have now taken possession of a Toyota Quantum mini bus.

Many of the children attending our preschool have generally had to walk quite great distances, having to get an early start in the mornings. To make matters worse, these children are usually only supervised by the oldest sibling in the family who could be as young as 8-10 years in age. The little ones are worn out by the time they reach school and then struggle to concentrate on their lessons.

This is the least of their worries as they have to deal with various hazards provided by other people and vehicles. The children lucky enough to have a ride do so at their own risk as the vehicle providing their transport is severely unreliable and a grave danger to its occupants.

With the new mini bus, we are able to ferry these children in a safe controlled environment.
