Bus project for PS Helena
Through a Namibian volunteer we were put in touch with the Helena primary school in the east of the country on the Botswana border.
This school has no means of transporting a group of students or teachers, be it to the health center 60 km away or to the larger city 160 km away for shopping.
Only by renting expensive livestock transporters can groups of students go on excursions or meet other schools at cultural or sporting competitions.
Now the school has become active itself, has written down its situation, has already collected money itself and is now hoping that a German foundation will support its project for a used 30-seater.
The Namibia Support Association has now taken action and has completed and submitted the application forms to a German foundation.
The Office of the Premier of the Omaheke Region (Festus Uetele) also supports the project.
Unfortunately, the project has not yet been approved. The school and the Namibia Support Association are therefore still looking for funds for the important bus.
