“There are countless numbers of children and youth all over India without access to safe transport to schools and institutes of learning, and rural girls are the worst affected. Lotus Outreach is providing educational opportunities for more than 1000 youth in remote rural areas of Jharkhand and we are riding on this occasion to provide bicycles to as many of those girls as we are able. Our ride celebrates 30 years at LO and raises awareness to expand our Lotus community in India.”
“I am really happy we’re riding to give bikes to village girls! Many will drop out if they don’t have a bike to reach school.”
Mr. Srinivas Kothni and his family, including daughter Chikki Kothni (14)
“Clean air and education is the right of every child. Gift a bicycle to a child who may not be as lucky as you so that she grows up healthy riding to school on time to be wise in future.”
