Last week, we were able to bring you the wonderful news that our new Happy House school mini-bus had arrived!The bus, bought with your amazing donations, still had to be made ready for use as a bus as they are imported without seats or fittings. The Government requires that all school buses should be in a livery of yellow and black ... sunshine on wheels!In this video, presented by Papa Dave, we are transported to a local garage in Watamu where the bus has been resprayed.It won't be long before it on the road and it is all thanks to YOU!
