Children with disabilities will soon have improved access to school after the Barbados Council for the Disabled (BCD) received a new accessible school bus at Harambee House, Garrison, on Monday.

The vehicle, funded through a partnership involving the Sandy Lane Charitable Trust, the Maria Holder Memorial Trust, Consumers Guarantee Insurance, CIBC Caribbean and NASCO Limited, is expected to ease transport challenges for children and other people with disabilities while improving access to education, medical appointments and community activities.
