Rotary BIKES4 AFRICA Appeal Update

Another Bike Delivery

A load of cycles

Today 13 August another load of 37 bikes were transported from the Rotary club’s collection point at Furnish in Enniskillen to Loughan House outside Blacklion, where they will be refurbished by the prisoners before onward shipment to Jole Rider in Gloucestershire, from where they will be containerised and shipped out to Gambia in Africa. Here they will be used by deserving secondary school children to transport them to and from school each day. Without the bicycles the children would have to walk miles to school in the sometimes scorching heat, arriving exhausted and unable to benefit from their tuition.

To date Enniskillen Rotary have collected and delivered over 400 bicycles to the Prison.

Anyone wishing to donate a bicycle or bicycle’s, (which should ideally be robust enough to stand the rough terrain and support teenage children), can either leave them off at Furnish, 8 The Link Road Enniskillen or call Ivan on 07768 000167 who will arrange to have them collected.
