Josh’s bike changes his life!

Dear Nirupama and Microsoft,

Josh is nine years old and lives in Tenebea, a small village in Ghana’s Northern District. He lives about nine kilometers from the main road and any motorized transportation. Josh is enrolled in a school in Asueyi, about seven kilometers from his home. Because of the distance, and his small size, he would rarely attend – and when he did, he arrived late, exhausted and used to sleep in class. Thanks to your donation, Josh was able to receive a bicycle and learn how to care for it.

Josh now attends school everyday, and the journey takes him a fraction of the time it used to take! His parents are also able to send him on errands, like buying oil, flour and other staples from the local market. Josh loves his new bike, and everything he is learning is school. Josh is so grateful for his bicycle, and his chance at a better life. Thanks for supporting Village Bicycle Project!
