Students have to walk several miles each way on dusty, rough roads to get to school. The long daily commute adds challenges to their daily lives. The students who are fortunate enough to have bicycles often give rides to other students. On a service trip to Cambodia volunteers bought bikes to use during their service. It was then that they realized that providing bikes for their students would greatly impact their lives. At the end of their service trip the volunteers gave their bikes to students and started a campaign to raise funds to purchase additional bikes. Each year a group of volunteers returns to the village to assemble and distribute the bikes. Associated organization: Global Connections Project.
