At the end of 2014, the leadership of the primary school “Schule an der Trießnitz” in Jena announced that funding for their free school bus was no longer available. This prompted the parent representatives to launch a fund-raising campaign, which DAKO supported with a donation of 800 euros.
In the past, the primary school used to provide a school bus. It could be used by all, and especially by disabled children. The bus was used for transport to and from school, for day trips and class trips with all the luggage, as well as holiday outings and excursions, but also for transport to sports events such as swimming and football. This took a lot of work off the hands of parents and teachers.
The school bus is not funded by the school, the booster club or the council, but was an initiative of the school leadership and funded by donations.
With the donation from DAKO and other sponsors, future use of the bus is assured. Instead of making generous Christmas gifts to customers and suppliers, DAKO prefers to be active in social projects in the region.
