Gordon and Meg will be biking from Alaska to Argentina while raising money and awareness for a worthwhile cause that promotes positive change. The cause to which we are dedicating our trip is that of poverty alleviation through education, in the belief that every child deserves the right to an education so they be given the platform to unleash their potential. We will be engaging with a number of these projects along the way and blogging about their missions. www.bikelivingtheamericas.com

Education & nutrition for 60 children in Peru

project picture

Peru,

Education

We aim to provide better primary education to 60 children in Maldonaldo, Arequipa, in Peru who currently only have one national teacher. By employing another teacher we can provide the children with better education than they had. Schools can be a long walk away and have low level education standards. By providing teachers, quality education, utensils, food and fruit we make sure children get the education they deserve and the right start in life. progress report
