Give a girl a bike: help her to go to school

Dear GlobalGiving Supporters,

I am Achal.  I am studying in SYBA. My father is working as the head clerk at a senior college, while My mother is a homemaker. I have three sisters and a brother. I am now preparing for the police recruitment test. I along with a few of my friends practice on the Mann Deshi sports ground. We came to know about this ground from my neighbour. Later, lectures for competitive exams started here. As the lectures were held in the afternoon, we had to reach the venue by walking. I live in Mhaswad and the venue is about 4-5 km from my house. In the afternoon heat, it used to be very difficult to walk.  Due to the distance and a lack of transport some girls don’t go to the lectures. Later, seeing our regular attendance, Mann Deshi distributed bicycles to us. This reduced the commute time and now we don’t get tired too. Here at Mann Deshi, all the training and theoretical knowledge is provided for free including diet, shoes, kits, and books for competitive exams. I aspire to become a police officer and I am preparing well for the recruitment exam. Thank you very much Mann Deshi Foundation for providing us with all the facilities and giving us the bicycle.

Thank you so much for all our supporters!!!
