Ramatullai lives in Lunsar, Sierra Leone, a rural community 120 miles from the capital Freetown. Thanks to your donation, Ramatullai received a bike and was taught how to take care of it.
Ramatulai is a teacher at the Bakhita Kindergarten School. She uses the bicycle twice per week
to visit the homes of the children who are not in school. By going around to the homes, the teachers are able to get to know the parents and make sure the kids come to school every day. Before she had the bicycle, it took her over an hour to visit all the homes around Lunsar, but now it only takes her 20 minutes. Owning a bike saves time and energy for Ramatullai, and allows many girls to attend school!
Ramatullai is very thankful for your donation, Sterling and Melinda! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
