Like Riding a Bike

Learning to ride a bike is a classic experience of childhood. Wobbling down the sidewalk without training wheels, learning to balance. Finally, you are allowed to ride your bike to a friend’s house, or up to the gas station to buy candy and you fly along the street, the wind in your hair, unstoppable. It’s pure freedom.

For Langee Vicky, a seamstresses at Mend, having a bicycle has freed up nearly two hours of her day that used to be spent walking to and from Mend. The seamstress saved up her earnings to buy a bicycle that makes life easier and her children’s lives more fun. She’s been teaching all three of them how to ride around the compound where they live.

Now, it only takes Vicky nine minutes to pedal herself to Mend. She saves money by riding to affordable outdoor markets to do her shopping. She has more time in the evenings to spend with her family and check her kids’ homework. And she still gets in her daily exercise riding up and down the bumpy roads of Gulu.

Like Vicky, many of the ladies at Mend have chosen to invest their savings in a bicycle. The Bike Tote from our Prosperity Series was designed to celebrate the freedom and mobility that come with the purchase of personal transportation.

Can I be honest? Amongst the whirlwind of Kony 2012, tweeting, retweeting, connecting with new and old friends and contacts who want to be involved or have questions, and tweeting some more, I’ve been too frequently disheartened. The positive far outweighs the negative, but sometimes it seems like…

Betty is building a house. A brick house.

Her family owns five acres of land where they keep a cow and grow cassava. She grew up on that plot of land until the rebel activity in the 1980s forced her family to relocate. For 20 years they were displaced, only returning in 2007 when the LRA had left the region.

Currently, Betty’s family is living in huts. The yearly renovation required for upkeep of the huts has been costly, and it has become more challenging for her to find the grass she needs for the roofs. The solution, Betty decided, was to build a house. The new house she is planning will have six rooms, where she and her mother and brothers can comfortably live.

“Making bricks is one step,” says Betty. Once she finishes the 20,000 bricks she needs for the house, she’ll still need to buy cement and other materials. To defray those costs, she has plans to continue brick making so that she can sell the bricks for a profit. She has also been able to employ young local men to help her, benefitting not only her own family, but the community as well.

Betty is a woman with lofty goals and a plan for reaching them!
