COMMITTED TO EDUCATION
Last May we sent a trike, by container, with Rise International to Angola, Africa. HWI and Rise have partnered together since 2005.
In April I heard from Lynn, Rise’s Executive Director. “The staff in Angola chose to give the trike to a 25-year-old man who is very committed to getting an education. Polio has left him unable to use his legs. Everyday he crawls to school. He is in fifth grade.
When the man was told he would soon have a hand-pedaled trike a smile broke out across his face. He said, ‘This is more than I could have ever dreamed to own.’
Rise’s Angola staff said, the need is great throughout Angola for these trikes.” Please pray with us about locating the right contact person in Angola who shares the vision and skills needed to start a trike factory there.
