Kwabena Barima is from Bodaa, Ghana, on the western boarder next to Cote D’Ivoire. Most people in this town of about 1000 people are farmers, and the soil is fairly good there. People in Bodaa walk most places they go, and waste valuable time getting around.
Kwabena is a cashew farmer, and thanks to your donation, received a bicycle and learned how to care for it. Kwabena will use his bicycle to go to the farm, about 3 km away from his home. Kwabena is 56 years old and has been walking the 6km round trip all his life. He is so excited to having more time and strength for farming when he rides his bike, and to be able to haul his tools. He will share his bicycle with his children who will go to farm with it too. Owning a bike saves time and energy for Kwabena and his family, and makes life a lot more productive!
Kwabena is very thankful for your gift, Ted and Pam! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
