Every kid should have a bike.
This year, 88bikes honors the heroism of these children by launching a multi-country endowment. In early 2010, 88bikes will travel to Ghana, India, Nepal and Vietnam, endowing orphanages, ashrams, centers and schools sheltering children rescued from human trafficking. The Moment of Happy will occur in January, 2010 at more than a dozen sites throughout the world. 300 children will receive a bicycle and the training to maintain it. 88bikes is partnering with Free the Slaves and Touch A Life, two non-profit organizations dedicated to the eradication of slavery. A bike is that magical vessel of freedom and fun, the rare tool as useful as it is enjoyable. For these children--as all children--a bike will provide joy, freedom and autonomy. A bike will help each child get to school and explore her world. At certain locations 88bikes will work to set up on-site bike shops and sponsor in-depth bike repair apprenticeships. Every kid should have a bike! |
