“The golf tournament went on very well and we were very pleased with the turnout.
“We enjoyed ourselves because the tournament was well sponsored with over 20 prizes.
“To express our generosity, a wheelbarrow was auctioned for $1 000.
“We have not tallied the total amount we raised though.
“We are hoping that we will be able to purchase the bus which costs about $100 000 on credit, and maybe get it on a 36-month payment plan.
“We appreciate the support from everyone who ensured that we hosted the golf tournament successfully,” he said.
Also in attendance was Education, Sport, Arts and Culture minister David Coltart who said he was happy that different communities could come together to support the good initiative.
