Last night we went to visit Kimberly Coats of Project Rwanda. Kimberly is an outgoing cyclist that's left the corporate world in the USA to fulfill her passion to help the Rwandan people. Clear Creek High School (Hannah Stephens High School in League City Texas) is the first of many high schools to take on the project to better the lives of Rwandans. So far, they have raised 6,000 dollars. This means, the students have bought 60 bicycles. With the bicycles, the students provided much needed transportation for the Rwandans. With the bikes, working Rwandans can bring items, such as food, down from the rural areas to cities. When they sell their items at the market, they are then able to make a profit, which can be life changing. Clear Creek is hoping to open the eyes of other high schools across Texas, as well as the USA, to be an example of what good we can do for others. Go Wildcats! :)
