Telskuf was raided and ruined by ISIS. There is desperate need for a bus to give their children HOPE for the future through education

Wellington

(UPDATE: WE HAVE $30,000 OF THE $35,000 INCLUDING WHAT HAS BEEN DIRECTLY TRANSFERRED!) Hutt City is buying a School bus for Telskuf; a town raided and ruined by ISIS. They are in desparate need of a bus so children can get to school in the next city 20km away. Having a bus will make all the difference for helping the families return home; knowing their children can still have a bright future and start rebuilding their lives.

Be a part of changing lives and futures of an entire town through something as practical as a school bus.

More info here: Telskuf is a town just north of Mosul in Iraq. Their town has been liberated from ISIS, after they ravaged through it, but they want to move back to rebuild. In order to start moving back they need their kids to have education there. Their school is in ruins, but a town 20km away has opened their school to them, thus the need for a school bus. Then people can move back, rebuild their lives, and create their future. They want to go home, they want to rebuild. A big part of rebuilding is investing in their children's education. We must look beyond our own city sometimes to help where there is such severe need. They've already endured so much, let's reach out and give them hope!

If only one third of Hutt City gave a dollar each, we have provided a school bus and shown that:

HUTT CITY Cares!

We talk so much on social media about how tragic these events are, but here is you chance to help in a very practical and tangible way

Use of funds

All funds are going to Preemptive Love who will buy and deliver the bus to the town. The money will be put into a Trust account overseen by ARL Lawyers Charitable Trust and a Chartered Accountant.
