Victor is grateful for a bike!

Dear Balamurugan and Nancy,

Victor is 57 years old and has spent his life farming sugar cane in West Africa. Thanks to your donation, Victor received a bicycle from Village Bicycle Project and learned how to care for it.

Victor will use his bicycle to travel the three kilometers to his fields. He has  always walked this distance daily, carrying his tools, and he is thrilled to own a bike at last. Sugar cane is a cash crop so he sells large amounts wholesale in the larger market. He usually hires a car (taxi) to transport the huge bundles, but he now plans to use his bicycle – which has a rack fitted to carry things. Owning a bike saves time, money and energy for Victor, and makes life a lot more productive!

Victor is very thankful for your donation, Balamurugan and Nancy! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
