Gone are the days when we spoke of recycling plastic, paper and clothes, now it is the turn of the humble bicycle to be recycled in a bid to empower poor and needy children.
The innocent children in this region work in the fields and do odd jobs for their families’ survival. They have to travel a long distance to reach their schools. With a twin objective of providing childhood joy and a mode of transport, an initiative was taken to collect old and unused bicycles from Thane/Mumbai region, transporting and getting it repaired and distributing them to these children. Two truckloads of 73 cycles along with clothes, school bags, caps, stationery, sports equipment, and many more things were transported to Narmadalaya Ashram at Lepa on April 16, 2013.
