Many people have been have been wondering, why some Africans don’t pay to repair their bicycles on the Island. There is a funny story attached to this, but again for some one like me, it shows how supportive some people can be.
Some where in Mariehamn, a bicycle repairer ( name witheld) has assured some African immigrants, that frequent his place, that as long as he continue to fix bicycles, he will always offer them FREE SERVICE. His main reason for doing so, is because he felt they need support in steadily settling down on the Island and becoming full flege members of the community. This sounds absolutely funny and Hej Åland intends to run an exclusive interview with the bicycle repairer, on the first edition of the online magazine.
Watch out for it!!!
