A new bike for a teacher and his daughter!

Siek 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, Siek received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it.

Siek had never had a bicycle before the VBP workshop came to Lunsar. He is a primary school teacher and he uses his bike several times per day to travel the 2 ½ miles to and from school and the 1 mile to and from his farm. Siek even had a special carrier built so he could carry his daughter Zainab to school with him every day.

He said “I feel fine! Before the bike, I strained going to school and my garden. I was spending $1 5 per week to go to and from school. Now I am saving $5 every week!!” Owning a bike saves Siek time and money, making his life more productive and much much  easier. Siek is very thankful for your donation, Rajeev! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
