Aboro’s son is happy to get the work done!

Dear David,

Aboro lives in the village called Kandiga, in rural northern Ghana. Thanks to your donation, Aboro received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it.

Aboro shares the bike with her 12 year old son, and they use it to get to their farm and to school. The family buys grain in the market, and uses the bike to carry the grain instead of carrying it on their heads. With the bike, Aboro’s son can ride quickly to their farm and the market, and still get back in time to get to school. She said “This is our first bicycle. I did not have enough money to buy a larger bicycle for myself, but I had enough money for a small one like this for my son. My son is now more of a help. If you ask him to go someplace now he does it!  Fast!  Before he would not go, or take a long time to do it!” Owning a bike will save Aboro’s son many hours of walking every week, and will help his family be more helpful, productive and successful.

Aboro is very thankful for your donation, David!  Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
