The Friends assistance to GOVI and the school in the past few months has included helping towards the cost of repairing one of the minibuses delivered by the 2006 Dales Team. Below: The Sprinter on the day it was delivered to the school.

The Friends had offered to match fund any specific project that GOVI undertook for the school  and so were happy to send funds at the end of August to help towards the cost of repairing the yellow Mercedes Sprinter minibus that was delivered in November 2006. In the last few years the Ministry of Education has been providing a bus to bring the children to school. But that bus cannot reach those students who live too far away from a tarmac road. So GOVI decided to repair the Sprinter minibus to do that job.

* November 2011 - this minibus is no longer on the road.
