"Laventille Bus" will benefit SFOTE's 2008 Educational Initiative, which provides children free sustainable transportation to and from school. 100% of the door proceeds from this concert will go to the bussing system in Laventille, Trinidad.
SFOTE found that Laventille, an economically impoverished and crime-ridden area in Trinidad, had a particular problem: even though there is a free public school system, there is no public bus system. Because the cost of transportation is high (6TT per day per child), many children in the area eventually drop out of school because their parents are unable to afford bus fare for their entire family.
