On Sunday, January 9th, ten bicycles donated by a Sponsor and contributor of Asha-Kiran arrived at Yashodhara. The children were waiting for their ‘present’ impatiently without knowing what it was ... some said they would like it to be bikes. Their wait dragged on since the bikes came four hours later than expected.
All the children jumped for joy when they saw what it was. As there were 10 bikes and 23 children, they sometimes shared one bike among three or went on short individual rides and then let someone else have a go. Some children learned to ride with help from a friend, while the younger ones were happy to ride in the back. One boy refused to ride but was happy to chase after the rest...
During the week, the children's schedule is tight, so bike-riding is reserved for weekends. There are bound to be some arguments about whose turn it is, some tears after a fall, and some bumps here and there, but come Saturday, everyone goes out to ride around the spacious grounds where Yashodhara is located, discovering unexplored areas and skills.
THANKS to our dear friend and Sponsor for giving joy and providing new experiences to our children.
