Pocklington and Market Weighton Methodist Circuit
P&MW Circuit Harvest Festival (Change begins with a bicycle)
Fundraising for All We Can
Story
Pocklington and Market Weighton Methodist Circuit are holding their annual Harvest Festival on 18th October 2020 at 2.30pm. Obviously, a traditional event is impossible this year, but we are holding virtual services and asking for donations to the "Change Begins with a Bicycle" appeal. Read on to see an example of how this project helps people like Nawalat gain a fresh start in life.
For communities living in rural Uganda, bicycles are more than a mode of transport – they’re a vital tool to help break the cycle of poverty for girls like Nawalat. Nawalat dreams of becoming a nurse – but her journey to school is long and difficult, and as the eldest child, she must help her widowed mother and younger siblings at home.
Young girls like Nawalat have the potential they need to break the cycle of poverty. Through your support, All We Can’s local partner has helped her to access a bicycle – and now, she can take her future into her own hands. Nawalat’s two-hour walk to school, and the risks she faced along the way, meant she arrived late, and was turned away from class. Now she cycles, she’s there on time, every day – and she can help with chores at home as well. Her dream of becoming a nurse has been made possible, thanks to her bicycle.
Thank you for helping make change possible for more children like Nawalat.’
