I volunteer with a Utrecht non-profit De Fietsmeesters to help teach adults how to bike. Students are almost always women, and mostly new immigrants. There are 16 new riders in this class, and 4 of us volunteers.

By the end of 10 weeks almost everyone is successfully biking on the road — it's so empowering!

This is so absolutely wonderful I can hardly stand it. Not only did you make me aware of more than one blind spot I hadn't considered, but you also put a tool in my toolbox for community empowerment.

I salute you, Ma'am! Huzzah!!!
