Asco Car Hire is an official sponsor of the Moreson School. All trees purchased by Asco Car Hire customers are planted and maintained at the Moreson School. The Moreson School is a school for cognitively impaired. The trees that are planted are mainly fruit trees, which the children will take care of. The yield of the fruit trees will complement the diet of the children, but in the future also serve as a source of income, because the fruit is to be processed into jam and juices. The children learn to cook, simple woodwork, but also the making of bricks at the school. The Moreson School program is designed to give children a future in simple occupations. We are very proud to support this special school and we are happy about any support.
