We are pleased to report that we have already delivered 40 of our 100 bicycle goal for 2019!
Students of Sasar Sdom Primary School received their bicycles in March 2019. Owning a bicycle is a life changing event for a student, as well as their entire family. A bicycle is often the ony mode of transportation for the family.
Bicycles play an important role in a rural student's life. Secondary level students often live far from their school. If a student's parent is unable to transport their daughter or son to school the student often misses class because to walk is simply too difficult and time consuming.
A bicycle provides the means for a student to be able to continue his/her education because it gives them a way to get to and from school easily. For female students, a bicycle adds a layer of safety, in that they will not be walking long distances alone, early in the day to school or late in the day from school.
Something so simple as a bicycle has a big impact. We thank all those who have helped our effort to keep rural students in school and have supported rural Cambodian students' education, and safety, through donations for bicycles.
