The route we have is very inadequate, as it consists of vehicles like old trucks and sometimes a poorly maintained bus. This causes a lot of fear because we are forced to send our children despite the circumstances. They are the future, and what we want to teach them is that studying is the best thing, but unfortunately, the fear persists since our transportation is not suitable. Sometimes we have to send them on foot, even though they are very young and the distance is too great for them. How we long to have transportation in good condition, where we can feel secure that our children will not encounter problems on their way to school.
