Spring Update on Giving 100 Bikes to 100 Girls

By Sara Nerone | Founder and President

RPS Board Member Luu Phan in Vietnam

Dear Friends,

Thanks to all of you who have supported our 100 Bikes for 100 Girls program on Global Giving. We have just reached another funding milestone by raising enough money to buy bikes for 100 more girls! Thank you so much for the continued support, the girls are so happy to receive the bikes from you all. The girls and their families send their hellos and thanks to you all.

In March, one of our Board Members, Ms. Luu Phan was in Vietnam and she went for the first time to visit our art, music and bike program in the province of Khanh Hoa. She was very happy to be able to take part in a bike giving ceremony while she was visiting, and was so happy to see the reaction and gratefulness of the girls receiving the bikes that you have given them. The photographs linked to this report are of Luu with some of the girls.

More good news is that a staff member of Global Giving also went to visit our program in Vietnam. She sent back rave reviews to their office here in the states, so we are very excited to have this independent critique of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Please let us know if any of you have plans to travel to Vietnam, a group of us will be there from the U.S. this summer for one month working with the kids.

Please know that all of your donations have gone directly to purchasing a bike or bikes. We look forward to continuing this program on Global Giving. Thank you again for supporting the girls and giving them an opportunity to own a new bike, the opportunity to travel to school easily and most of all safely. Your gifts have already made such an enormous, direct difference in each of these girl’s lives.

Best Wishes,

Sara Nerone
