Hello and Goodbye

Last month saw three new members join the Educo Africa team -

OUR BRAND NEW TOYOTA QUANTAM VANS!!

To maintain our high standards of safety, and stay within the confines of the new regulations by Government for public transport, we upgraded our passenger vehicles. We were also fortunate enough to have an anonymous donor fund the upgrading of two of our trailers.

For one crazy morning, we had our old and new vehicles in our yard before having to say goodbye to our old faithful vans. The feelings of excitement of the new (bigger and better) vehicles arriving and the sadness in saying farewell to our old ones was mixed. Each of our vans had particular memories attached to them. They had all been part of our adventures, our journeys, our team! The image of one of our past staff members, Thomas, standing on top of a mountain peak, silhouetted by the setting Sun (with our Eagle and Africa logo) had become a familiar sight on our roads. Some of us took the time to say goodbye and wish them well with their new owners.Here are some photos that show our old vans in action...
