Today’s email connection

Today His Wheels International received the following email. “Hello. I am an RN and the President of a non profit charity . . . making a big impact in resource limited areas in Africa. In November 2019 our team will travel to northern Ghana to start a project called the ‘Ability Project'” They partner with an ngo there and have been talking about trying to build hand-pedaled tricycles as the need is great and they are very difficult to find. She has acessed the HWI’s blueprints and wondered if we have a trike to send with them. She wrote, “Thank you for what you are doing! L”
 
After talking by phone, we shared our trike coloring book pages and our first hand-pedaled trike children’s story for them to use as they also do disability awareness and literacy

The Impact of a Coloring Book Page

While at The Compass Church yesterday, Big J, our trike ambassador, who lives with Down’s Syndrome, came up to Alice and said, “Big A (as only he can do!) and with a big grin on his face handed me his colored trike page. I was overcome with joy by such a precious gift from my friend, who has been advocating for His Wheels Trikes since our inception. It was as if I’d been given one of the best Christmas gifts ever.

Thank Big J for sharing your big heart and your coloring skills with me. It will hang on my fridge, protected in plastic.

This coloring sheet is impacted lived around the world already, and yesterday it made a full circle as Big J handed his colored sheet back to me.

Coloring Book Page

Thanks to Kristina Matson, an art student at College of DuPage, we have our first coloring book page. We will have the coloring book page available this Saturday for the Makers Day at the Wheaton Public Library.  It is also a big step towards our next dream of having a coloring book and an illustrated children’s book.

Feel free to make copies of the colored .pdf copy and the coloring pdf copy and use it for disability awareness in your own group.
