Dear Daryl, Kandace, David, Cindy, Yu, and Amit,

Thanks to your support, 20 people in the remote town of Asiri, Ghana attended a one day repair workshop hosted by Village Bicycle Project. The participants are students, farmers, merchants and health workers.

People in rural Ghana ofter spend two to four hours per day walking to farms, schools, health care and markets.  Using a bike instead of walking saves time, energy, and often money, as transport fees are very expensive. These bicycle repair students were taught to watch and listen for problems so their bikes will keep running for years to come. They can oil the chain, fix a flat tire, and make many adjustments that keep their bikes safe and comfortable.

The people of Asiri thank you for your support! Thanks for supporting the work of Village Bicycle Project!
