The Koch family handed me an envelope with $100 in at as I was heading to the airport for my trip to Rwanda.
They told me to use it how I thought best.
Chantal initially thought about buying 2 goats and then some ice cream for the kids. An alternative would be to make storage cubbies for the kids to organize their clothes etc.
After 1.5 weeks of debating we finally decided on a new bike. The Koch family's oldest son Anthony has been really engaged with supporting our kids. About a year ago he donated 1/2 of his savings to buy the kids 2 new bikes for Christmas. With this many kids and only 2 bikes (both of which are stored at the 1st home with the school, we thought the 2nd and third homes would love to have one to share.
Needless to say, it was a hit.
Next thing is to get some helmets from the states as falling without one is not goooood.
