CHILDREN from a Stacksteads school undertook a tyre rolling obstacle course to raise enough cash to maintain vital transport for youngsters in Sri Lanka.
In 2011, students from Holy Trinity Primary School raised the money to buy a ‘tuk tuk’ vehicle to take children to and from hospital, deliver food and clothing and allow youngsters in rural areas to get access to education The school in Booth Road has now raised enough to give the tuk tuk, which travels an average of 300 miles per week, an MOT, new wheels and other necessary maintenance.
Sara Richardson, assistant head of the school, said: “The children have thoroughly enjoyed it.”
