| In the Karoo, distances between farms and the nearest town are vast and there is no public transport of any description. The Trust, through the generosity of donors, has built up a fleet of eight pick-up trucks which enable learners who live on farms to be transported to school each day, driven by staff members who also live on any of the 28 farms in the Hantam community. If it was not for this transport system, the children would simply not be able to attend school.
Pupils and teachers from Colesberg are transported to the school in the Trust’s 65-seater bus. The expense involved in purchasing and maintaining these vehicles is an enormous burden on the Trust’s budget. No transport subsidy is received from the State
