Hello! My name is Rachel. I lived in Rwanda, Africa for 3 years. We lived just outside the slums. The children walked by our house each day on their way to school. We had so much, and they had so little. We had a great big house, while they had tiny little shacks. I wished there was something I could do to help them.
When we moved back to Canada, I volunteered at Wellspring’s Lake2Lake, a bike race for adults to raise money for Rwandan schools. Then I thought, if adults can do this, why can’t kids? So, if you’ll ride with me, I think we can make a big difference in the lives of my Rwandan neighbours.
