Useful information
Duty free rebates for schools?
“I would advise that in the event that we manage to get a quote, the school applies for a rebate letter from the ministry of education. The permant secretary Dr Stephen Mahere issues those to schools willing to import goods or vehicles for educational use. This would enable us to import the bus duty free”

UPDATE (March 2012)
- The school have another truck that replaced this one
- They are in the process of purchasing a 30 seater bus ($81,000). They have the $41,000 deposit that will allow them to receive the bus. They will then pay $10,000 per term (4 installments).
The issue therefore does not need external help, except if we are helping them save on interest charged.
So when did this fundraising begin? i will def add some cash on that account. Great idea guys jus market it as much as u can.
