Michelle Bonneau

Educator, Author, and Humanitarian

A Tharu Woman who is a key facilitator of "Her International's" operations in Nepal. She was provided with a bicyle to help her reach outlying village women, and was given her choice of colour for the bicycle, which is why it is pink.

The Girl on the Pink Bicyle

From Slavery to Grace in Nepal
“The Girl on the Pink Bicycle tells my story. Each of us has a story to tell with its adventures, twists and joys. Mine is a dance of birth, death and change.”
- Michelle Bonneau, author

À propos
My Story

Michelle Bonneau founded Her International, a Canadian Charity working in the Okanagan Valley and Nepal.  Passionate about the power of women's education on changing lives, Michelle at the age of 58 sold all she had, packed a suitcase and left for Nepal with the conviction that her God would open the necessary doors to bring self-reliance to women. 

 

From slavery to graced freedom underlines both her personal journey and that of Tharu women. Michelle’s dedication has earned her the title of Humanitarian of 2014 from La Presse, Quebec’s main newspaper and Canada’s 2018 Meritorious Service Medal.
