Welcome

Please join us in support to raise funds and awareness of the Chikumbuso Women and Orphans Project and World Bicycle Relief as we bike from coast to coast June-August 2010.

Our goals:

To provide a well for a community soccer field in the compound of Ng’ombe in Zambia currently used by the Chikumbuso Grassroot Soccer Team. Chikumbuso provides free education and meals to 300 orphans as well as empowering widows and single moms through microenterprise projects.

Estimated cost- $10,000

Raise funds to donate 100 bicycles for an entire school through WBR- Bicycle Educational Empowerment Program. WBR has pledged to supply 50,000 bicycles to schools in Zambia. Recognizing the particular vulnerability of female children and the importance of educating girls, 70% of student recipients will be girls.

Cost- $13,500

Rotarians Rock!!


Thanks to the efforts of Elaine, Ed, John and Mike in Ct we have had the pleasure of meeting some great rotarian hosts in Idaho. The first offer was made by Ray Frechette and his wife Carol. We had the best time visiting with them and their friend and neighbor Carol(see previous post) The next night Ed Sharpe set us up in Mountain Home treating us to a visit and breakfast. Eric offered two rooms for us in Twin Falls and another beautiful campsite and meal was provided by Paul Lyons in Burley with a nice visit with him and his wife. The long ride to Blackfoot had a great campsite waiting for us thanks to Brandon Bird. We were treated to a fabulous family dinner at his home provided by his wife Stacy and their kids were great company and helpers. After hearing about our trip and the charities, Brandon invited us to speak at the Blackfoot Rotary Club meeting on Tuesday. Paul and I spoke at the meeting and were overwhelmed by the club's response and willingness to help our cause. Stacy and daughter, Brandi attended too and the ladies went home with some beautiful Chikumbuso bags and bracelets. We are looking forward to our next visit with rotarians but it won't be until Iowa. Until then, a BIG THANK YOU to all that have supported us and our causes as we ride through our beautiful country.
