A new bike for a hardworking teacher!

Koleneh lives in the village of Lunsar, about 120 miles from the capital city.  People in Lunsar have rarely used bikes in the past, even though people commonly walk many miles every day. Thanks to your donation, Koleneh received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it.

Koleneh uses his bike many times every day. He is a teacher at a Secondary School and also conducts special combination classes at another school in Lunsar. By commuting to both schools by bicycle, he will save over $7 per week, a huge amount to him. When not teaching, he uses his bicycle to socialize with his friends and girlfriend. He will share the bike with people in the compound where he lives, they will use it to go buy petrol, food, water and bread. Koleneh said “The bike will not only make my work easier, the bike makes the work for almost everyone in my compound easier. So many people use my bike for errands everyday.” Owning a bike saves Koleneh time and money, making his life more productive and much easier.

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