In early February Dan Austin, founder of 88Bikes, visited Nepal to donate bicycles to the children living in shelters run by SAATHI, an NGO for women and children.

The children were waiting in anticipation, but patiently sat down until the exchange started.
Dan Austin and his brother Jared started 88Bikes in 2006. They recently visited Nepal, one of four designated countries to receive 300 bicycles raised through donations.
Although too small to ride the bicycles, the toddlers were happy to be there. A small surprise awaits them.
The Austin brothers started the organisation when they were on a trip to Cambodia. At the end of their trip, they decided to donate their bicycles to an orphanage. But a selfless act that brought happiness to two orphans, the Austins realised, left out 86 other children at the orphanage.

The foundation is providing 125 bicycles to children in the four shelters run by SAATHI, an NGO that works for women's and children's rights.

There were plenty of smiles as the day went on, and it never wore off.
Each child is responsible for looking after their new bicycles, said SAATHI.

The toddlers were screaming and shedding tears of joy upon sighting the five tricycles given to them.
