It's truly amazing how betterplace works!

Thanks to your help we were able to raise the funds to produce and to set up two displays at our member hotels that will be able to raise funds for more bicycles. It's good to see what can be achieved when everybody contributes.

I a country in which people are sometimes not in the position to earn more than $30 a MONTH (even a state school teacher's salary is normally between $30 and $50 per month) a bicycle of $35 is often not affordable.

Owning one can make a big difference to people's lives and enables children to attend high schools (which are often further away) or their parents to find a job in a city that's far from their village.

We will wait now until the money is transferred to our account, get the display produced and get in contact with the businesses that are willing to set the displays up and then start raising more funds. As soon as it is all done, we will write about it in our official newsletter (in September) and here on betterplace.

If you wish to donate bicycles directly please feel free to do this on our betterplace page.

Have a nice day,

Meera
