A bike can change the world
There are many ways that people in developed countries help people in less developed countries around the world. Food, development, foreign aid among many other programs have been going on for a long while. In our search for ways to help people help themselves a really cool group called
Bicycles for Humanity may have hit on something really big.
Here is how it works. A group of concerned people raise money and/or collects bikes to be placed in a shipping container that will be sent to a place that needs them. Not only will the container be filled with bikes but it also comes stocked with a workshop and extra parts. This is people helping people help themselves at its finest. Notice the pictures on their site - most of them are of people using their bike like someone in the States would use a pickup truck!
