Jon rides the 8km to school and loves it

Jon is a 15 year old student who lives in Laabissi, a tiny outlying village in Ghana’s Upper East Region. Jon’s village has no school and so he attends a secondary school on Tongo, about 8 kilometers away. Previously he used to wake each morning before dawn to make sure he was able to complete his chores and reach his school on time. He was often late, and the walk made him tired and unable to concentrate in class.

Thanks to your donation, Jon has his own bicycle, meaning he can reach school quickly and easily, and run errands for his mother. His bicycle also has a carrier, which is perfect for carrying his books and giving lifts to his classmates. Jon knows his life will be a lot better with a bicycle and is very thankful for your donation! Thanks for your support of the Village Bicycle Project!
