2
Remember YOUR old friend
3
It provided your first taste of Freedom
4
Your first taste of Independence
5
Just think what your old friend could do in
countries where an empty water bottle
is considered a treasure.
6
Where the only ball a child knows
is made from discarded bunched up plastic
grocery bags
7
Where there is little to do but to sit
wait
for the opportunity to change.

I used to be a proud fisherman
9
I lost everything in the tsunami
10
Now that I have a bicycle
I can sell fish
11
and coconuts
12
I am a Midwife.
I look after 450 pregnant women.
13
I visit 10 houses a day.
With a bicycle
I could double perhaps even triple that number.
14
With the help of my bicycle
I can carry four maybe five times more coal
food water grain.
15
In Ghana
a bicycle turns a 2 hour walk to school
into a 25 minute ride.
16
In Guatemala
someone who previously could not carry their
wares to a market
now has a way.
17
It provides jobs
to those who would normally have none.
18
Farmers can transport extra corn for their fields.
19
In Zambia
field care specialist Elizabeth Noonga can now
reach 8 families suffering with AIDS
instead of her normal 2.
20
A father can walk one hour a day instead of seven
21
In Namibia
it means the difference between life and
death
22
Bikes empower people
to change their lives
23
You can take something that we
who are extraordinarily spoiled
would throw away
24
and turn it into something that can
change someones life.
25
In the very poorest
countries of the World.
26

All because people have wheels are no longer
stagnant
29
Think about what your life would be like
without a car
30
You get the Picture.
31
It has been said that you can give a child a fish
and they will eat for a day
32
But if you teach a child to fish
they will eat for a lifetime.
33
They ask for the opportunity
Help provide them with the means.
