Village bicycle projects restore hope for Abigail Mensah

Abigail Mensah of River Park Accra is a beneficiary of a brand new racing bicycle courtesy of Village Bicycle Project, a Non-Governmental organization based in Ghana, and their partner Bikes for the World based in the United States and Britain.

The presentation ceremony was held at the inner corridors of the Ghana Olympic Committee with Secretary General Shaaban Mohammed, Communications Director Dennis Moore, and Technical Director Daniel Amoo in attendance.

The mini-presentation ceremony was very lively and demonstrated a great source of hope for Abigail, who smiled throughout the presentation.

Country Director for Village Bicycle Project Mr. Ebenezer Somiah thanked the Ghana Cycling Federation for the opportunity given to officially donate this bicycle to Abigail Mensah.

Mr. Somiah hinged on the organization’s commitment to supporting the cause of female cycling and that this was just the beginning.

Secretary General of the Ghana Cycling Federation Shaaban Mohammed expressed his elation at this gesture and reciprocated by thanking the village Bicycle Project for officially respecting the office of the Federation through this official presentation.

“We do have a school in the Upper East Region called Nyariga Doone girls school, 15 miles away from Bolgatanga to be precise and they have committed to us 50 female cyclists who need similar assistance especially as we are preparing for the African Games next year “- Shaaban stated.

The Secretary-General also mentioned that the Federation has negotiated to set up a team at the military and Police camps and would also be happy to receive donations of this kind.

” This might even secure our riders a job at these security services,” Shaaban said. On this, he implored the local representatives to communicate to their partners abroad on the need to assist with more bicycles.

Mr. Somiah reiterated the commitment of the village Bicycle Project to support future activities by the Federation.

Representatives from the village Bicycle Project in Ghana included Mr. Rabiu Haruna, Marketing Manager, Mr. Abdel Fatau, Project Coordinator, and of course the Country Director Mr. Ebenezer Somuah.

The Village Bicycle Project is an initiative to support primarily female and youth development in cycling school projects initiated by the Ghana Cycling Federation last year.

The Federation, therefore, went into an agreement with the entity, and the fruits of that collaboration have come to a realization.
