Westerlig Primary School gets a new bus

Westerlig Primary School in Danville, Pretoria, need a new bus. The one that they currently use is a 1970’s model and is often not in a working condition. The bus is used to transport the children to outings and sporting events, but also relied on by many of the children as it is their only form of transport to and from the school.

Caring Daisies was approached to help raise the funds for a new bus, which would cost around R400 000.00. They made a deal with the school principal, Mr Erich Cloete that if the school raised R50 000.00, they would help raise the balance. This is exactly what happened and more.

Other contributors to this worthy cause include:

Escalator Capital who also contributed R20 000.00 towards the purchasing of the bus
Quali-Funda Initiative and SA Artists who sponsored a mobile library and new books to the value of R40 000.00

Carel Jacobs and Kingsley Kruger from SA Artists and Quali-Funda (Qualibooks) were also there to hand over the mobile library.
