Join in Taking “Hop on the Bus” Over the Fundraising Top
 

Have you recently given any thought to how our school children get to school these days?  Walk about a mile?  Ride their bike?  School bus?  Most often their trip to school doesn’t take some 90 minutes…an hour and a half walking.
 
Yet, in a country where there is no free public school system, few paved roads, and risks of child trafficking and sexual violence, the accessibility of a school bus can make all the difference.  An important initiative called Hop on the Bus aims to provide Liberian school children with safe and shorter tips to get a critically valuable education.
