No
School Bus. These kids don’t go to school because the
government school that serves the settlement is several kilometers
distant and there is no transportation.
We’re hoping to raise money to buy a used Jeepney ($6,000), which
one of the men at the settlement would use to transport elementary and
secondary students to from school. The
rest of the day he would use the Jeepney to earn a living in General
Santos. A Jeepney is a
hand-made vehicle, diesel powered with seats for 10-12 and functions like
a bus on a given route. This
is an excellent purchase for the settlement and badly needed. |
