Today we received the long awaited motorcycle from our donor partner ICAP. Four of us travelled to Nyeri for the official handing over and were delighted that ICAP’s Country Director Dr Mark Hawkens had come from Nairobi to meet us.
I’ll be using the bike to travel out to the rural areas to run workshops with our Support Groups. It’s the best vehicle to deal with the steep hills and rough dirt tracks.
I’m currently the only person within the organisation with a motorcycle licence. Luckily for me, VSO paid for my 4-day training and test in Machakos last December, but most of our members are unable or unwilling to fork out Ksh 4,000 for the privilege. Vision Gardens can’t afford to fund them ay the moment, but hopefully in the near future. I’d hate to think the bike would be lying idle after I leave.
