MOVING ON,,,,!

This is a photo 

 of an American School Bus.

All United States School Buses are painted

a particular shade of Yellow in order to make them more noticeable

to other road users and thus safer from accident.

___________

In January of this year, the Kenya Government, announced that ALL school buses had to be painted a particular shade of YELLOW by the 31st March.      This was a Safety Measure to help ensure that all such buses were NOTICEABLY visible to other traffic and road users..    The Name of the School, and any other print must be painted in BLACK.   Again this is believed to be the best contrast to the yellow base-paint, and most easily SEEN - especially early morning, and late afternoon when the light is often not so pure or bright.      It is believed that this measure has been inspired by the fact that U.S. school buses have been painted in this manner by Law since 1939 in an effort to minimise accidents on the road when transporting school children.      Since then it has been confirmed that this measure was, and IS a definite benefit.       It has been a very costly undertaking, and our School has had to struggle in being able to convert our three existing buses to the new specifications.

Not everyone likes the new colour, but I guess it will soon become accepted and everyday.

HERE we can view one of our buses, as it is today in it's new colour!

The children at least are very excited by the change, and of course it makes each bus look almost new!      School buses had all been painted in different colours previously and were made distinctive in this way to each School - NOW one will have to LOOK  for the name more carefully, since each bus will now look the same as every other school bus!      But still, I think, a good move, and a SAFE one.

ABOVE two of our grandchildren,  DARYL's son Jesse, and daughter Becky, taken not long ago when they were 19 and 15 respectively.    Jesse is in college and Becky in her final High School year.
It is our joy to have them both still close to us, and able to share in their growing up.
We are hoping to have two more of our grandchildren whom we do not see often, visit us with our son Steven in June this year - Steve's son Eric, and Elizabeth's son John-Finney.

Apart from this little news.    Our Internet Server broke down for almost ten days, and then my computer also developed its own problems.    Glad to be back.     We had no incoming post from the 5th to 30th March!!       Please forgive us for being delayed in dealing with the backlog.

Love from us all in Jesus Name
