World Bicycle Relief, our Partner in Zambia
What was your transportation challenge last week? “My flight was delayed “ or I was stuck in Boulder rush hour traffic”. If this question were asked in Zambia ‘ the answer would be about walking.
Girls in Zambia never complete primary school because of distance, fatigue and unsafe roads. World Bicycle Relief is supplying more than 3.200 bicycles to Zambia inspiring young women to learn,
dream and thrive. Your Club will be supplying 50 of these bicycles. Our speaker this Tuesday will be Claire Geiger, Grass Roots Development Manager at World Bicycle Relief. She is passionate
about this rewarding position.
We have received word that there is room on the truck from Lusaka to Mfuwe, Zambia for 10 more bicycles at $147 each. Would you like to help one more student achieve their dream?
We had a meeting on this morning with Lucie Kasanga, civil engineer and assistant Rotary District Governor(on my left) and
Dr Christine Kaseba, International Rotary project chairperson and former 1st lady of Zambia. They will represent the in country club for next year’s Global Grant.
It was a great fun meeting.
