The Rotary Club of North Bay, World Community Service and International Literacy Committee, approved a $2000 contribution in support of The Rotary Club of Gravenhurst’s international program – Wheels For Learning – ‘Bicycles for Access to Rural Schools in Developing Countries’.  

This initiative in Cambodia provides a critical mode of transportation, allowing children to attend school and their family members to travel to work, shop or attend to other personal needs.

Field Coordinator, Lisa McCoy, from the Gravenhurst Club, along with the bicycle distribution team of 28 Rotarians and Friends from Rotary District 7010 will arrive in Cambodia the end of January 2014 to begin their 3 weeks of bicycle distributions.

In the past 2 years, close to 2,000 bicycles have been distributed to needy students in Cambodia.
