WordServe Editor

On Saturday April 2, 2011, a group of people from WordServe met at Wal-Mart to purchase bicycles for refugee children and young adults in the Houston area.

But something as simple as a bicycle can be very hard to come by as a refugee just coming to this country, and for many, it is a luxury they simply cannot afford.
