Tricia,
This man, Abdulai, from Patefu Broun in Sierra Leone, usually travels from his village to Lunsar on foot, 16 miles round trip, at least 3 times per week!
His village helped him pool together a small stipend to buy this bicycle that you, Tricia, have helped subsidize!
Kabia had never before used gears and was delighted to learn how to do so during the maintenance workshop.
He uses his bikes over rugged and hilly terrain where gears, racks and knobby mountain tires make the ride smoother and more comfortable.
Thanks Tricia for changing a life!
