Samuel rides to a better future!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Dear Deborah,

Samuel lives in Assin Kruwa, in a small farming village at the end of a rough road, with about 2000 residents. Five or six mini-buses make the round trip daily to the coast highway, but the area is very rural. Thanks to your donation, Samuel received a bike and was taught how to take care of it.

Samuel says he’ll use his bike to get to school. He will also use it to go to their farm, about 6 km away, and to carry foodstuffs and crops home. Before he got his bike, he had been walking the whole way in the hot sun, and carrying cassava and plantains on his head. He plans to buy a carrier for his bike, which will make his life so much easier. He is excited to own a bike! Owning a bike saves time and money, and makes life a lot more productive.

Samuel is very thankful for your donation, Deborah!  Thank you for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
