Jaliha walked miles every day, and now can ride her bike!

Thank you for your support of the Village Bicycle Project bicycle repair workshop in Konjiahai, Ghana! Konjiaji is a village in the remote furthest NW corner of Ghana where no English is spoken, 4 miles from the main town of Wa.

Jaliha received her bicycle the day we took this picture, last week.  The first thing she is going to do is get a rack for her bicycle so that she can carry loads on it easily.  She will use the bike to take her maize for grinding in Kperisi, about half a mile away from her home, and Wa, about 4 miles away.  She also works at the quarry making gravel in the dry season when there is not a lot of work to do at her farm.  The quarry is 3 miles away and normally she would walk, but with the bicycle she will go and come quickly.

Thanks, Tom, for your donation, and making life easier for Jaliha.
