Akumyire’s new bike will make life much easier!

Dear Gary,

Akumyire lives in Kandiga, a village in rural northern Ghana. Akumyire works on his family’s farm and helps take care of their animals. Thanks to your donation, Akumyire received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it.

Akumyire uses his bike to go to the family farm, which is 5 miles away, and to the market, which is .5 miles away. He told us this about his life, “The bike has helped my family because it helps us get to the farm early, and when we have lots of food we can carry it on the bicycle back home.” Akumyire also uses the bike to run errands for his mother, and is happy that he can ride his bike instead of walking! Owning a bike makes life much easier!

Akumyire is very thankful for your donation, Gary! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
