Cambodia Bike Project: Stung Meanchey



Cambodia Bike Project provides bikes to children who needed them to get to school. This is a simple task, mundane in nature but substantial for the children who receive them and the communities in which they live.

On Tuesday, myself and Asian Hope staff as well as two incredibly talented photographers/videographers from a ministry called Create to Restore went to Stung Meanchey just outside of Phnom Penh.

With the help of our friend Pany, we were able to distribute 14 bicycles to children who had applied for and been identified as needing a bike to get to school on a more regular basis. In our brief 30-minute ceremony, I was able to speak to the kids and explain to them the purpose behind the bikes and our hope for them as they continue to study. It was simple but exciting and we were so blessed to be able to participate with and support these 14 Cambodian children.

It is incredible to be a part of this work. Providing bikes is so simple but has so much impact on kids and communities. Bikes keep kids safe by helping them get to school and they help families maintain a higher income.
