OREC Bike Donation

Pator Daniel (right) negotiating.




We really can't do things here without help from home and this is a perfect example! A friend/teacher at Oxford Regional Education Centre (Tracy Calder Swan) got in touch with me to ask how she and the students could help. Instead of doing a gift exchange at Christmas, they decided to raise money to buy bikes for some of our school kids who live very far from school. Another way to make their lives easier. I went with Pastor Daniel from the Lambs of God Orphange to Cap Hatian to buy the bikes last Saturday. He was able to negotiate for the bikes and locks and we transported them back to Hope for Haiti. We'll give them a wash and tune up then get them out to the kids! Can't wait to see their faces!
THANK YOU OREC STUDENTS AND TRACY CALDER SWAN!!!

    These bikes look awesome. I am so excited to think about the kids rolling into school proudly and in a fraction of the time...This will revolutionize their day and school experience....
