WINDSONG INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION DONATES A THIRD SCHOOL BUS TO THE NIA

On Friday, November 05, 2021, Windsong International Foundation made another significant contribution to the Nevis Island Administration’s (NIA) Ministry of Education by donating a Toyota Coaster bus — bringing their donations to three buses within the last 12 months. The Foundation made the donation to assist with the Ministry of Education’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as the number of students traveling on each school bus had to be decreased in order to comply with the NIA COVID-19 Task Force recommendations and practice physical distancing. By ensuring that transportation to school is available and safe, the Ministry of Education is able to fulfil its mission of facilitating the personal and professional development of the island’s most cherished resource — its children.
