BUS APPEAL
We have launched an appeal to raise £25,000 to buy a newer bus to replace our 20 year-old bus which is used to transport pupils, mostly on free place scholarships, into Happy House School. Without our help, these youngsters from impoverished backgrounds would not have the education or opportunity to go on to careers that will lift them out of the poverty and give them a chance to make a real impact on their community and their country.
Our bus, whilst safe, is becoming more unreliable and often in for repair and becoming a drain on resources.
