Simeon saves 2 hours every day riding his bike!

Dear Dean and Julie,

Simeon is from Princesstown, Ghana, at the end of a wretched gravel road 18 km. from the main coastal highway.  The road is so bad that taxis won’t go there unless you pay 10 times the standard rate.  For several weeks during the rainy season the road is cut off, and travelers must wade through thigh deep mud to transfer from a landlocked car to another car bound for the outside world.  The four or five vehicle round trips each day are made by minibuses contracted by the town to make the trip.  The lack of transportation means people walk most places they need to go. Thanks to your donation, Simeon received a bicycle and was taught how to take care of it.

Simeon is a student and travels to school five miles from his home. His bike will make it much easier to get to school and have more time to do homework, and help his family on their farm. Owning a bike saves time and energy for Simeon and makes life a lot more productive.

Simeon is very thankful for your donation, Dean and Julie! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
