🚴‍♀️ *Bicycle of Hope, Pedaling Towards Education* *Lions Club of Ulwe Gems* In Collaboration with “ *Bhukha Na Rahe Koi* ” (Activity Group) 🌟 *Empowering Young Minds, One Pedal at a Time* Education opens doors—but for many children in rural and semi-urban areas, the journey to school itself is a daily challenge. To ease this burden, Lions Club of Ulwe Gems, in collaboration with Bhukha Na Rahe Koi (Activity Group), organized a Bicycle Distribution Program at Zilla Parishad School, Vahal Ulwe. This thoughtful initiative provided bicycles to 25 deserving students who walk 2–3 kilometers every day just to attend school. The project not only reduces the physical strain but also motivates children to stay regular in their studies and dream bigger. 📊 *Project Highlights* *Total Beneficiaries: 25 students* *Cost of Project: ₹87,500* *Total Lions Present: 18* --- 🎖️ *Chief Guest* *N.
