Bicycle Restores Joy of School, Life for Seventh-grader

GFA Reports from the Field

August 02, 2121

The family of five could not afford to buy her a bicycle to help with school travel with the meager income her parents earned as farmers.

Thanks to the gift of a bicycle and a faster commute, Sasa (not pictured) now enjoys school and a happier life.

For Sasa, going to school was a chore. Each day she walked nearly 4.5 miles to school and 4.5 miles home. Her only mode of transportation was her legs, and after repeatedly walking the long route to school, even that mode of transportation was starting to give out as she began to experience pain in her legs.

An All-day Affair

Attending school became a drudgery, an all-consuming task. Sasa often arrived late because of her lengthy commute. Furthermore, as a seventh-grader—a challenging time for any adolescent—Sasa faced the added embarrassment of arriving at school drenched in sweat. The beads of perspiration on her face seemed magnified by the stares of her classmates.

Once the school day ended, Sasa retraced her steps home. By the time she arrived, she was exhausted and had little patience to answer her family’s questions. Irritation bubbled inside of Sasa when she was recruited to assist with household chores. All her energy had been spent walking the nine miles.

Sasa often went to bed early, without even taking time to complete her homework. When she’d awake the next day, the saga would repeat itself.
