Bikes 4 Life on The Project, Channel 10
This weeks workshop on Sunday 13th May will be cancelled as it is Mothers Day.
Spend the day spoiling that very special person in your life……Mum
We will be back, hard at it on Sunday 20th May and hope to see you then. There is still much to do before we take off to NT on 28th June as part of our Indigenious Project.
PEACE
This man had a modified bike / wheel chair! He lost all his fingers and also lost his legs from both knees down due to the long and deadly war in Northern Uganda! He was still a very happy man to be alive! To find out more stories about inspirational people like him follow https://www.facebook.com/
There is nothing these people cannot carry on their bikes in Uganda! Absolutely amazing! Join us on facebook at: www.facebook.com/bikes4lifeorg
A message from our partner Kisirisa Muhammed at AFFCAD (Action for Fundamental Change and Development) Uganda:
‘Finally the Bikes are in Bwaise Slums in Kampala Uganda to Save a Life…its been a year since we have been waiting for this time to come…it was a lot of screams and shouts from the Kids in Bwaise when they saw a truck full of Bikes…Gooo… Bikes 4 Life Gooo Bikes 4 Life Goooo Bikes 4 Life…Once you believe you can achieve Viiva Bikes 4 Life, Viiva AFFCAD Family…Viiva Excel Education Centre…Viiva the Children of Bwaise…Viiva Ebony Butler.’
We are currently looking for more volunteers to help us with: bike workshops (mechanics and bike repairs), event management / planning and project management (Alice Springs Project) and also general admin, bookkeeping, marketing and sponsorship / fund-raising…. If you are interested, or know someone who may be please email: info@bikes4life.com.au expressing your interest! THANKS!!!
Thank you to everyone who donated their bikes to us. The women and children of northern Uganda and those in the slums of Bwaise Kampala now have something that can really better their lives and make them smile. We now need help for our second project, which is providing bikes and bike education to indigenous communities in Central Australia.
Artists Mark Grieve and Ilana Spector, who collected the bicycles from the debris piles of nonprofit bicycle organizations, created this bicycle arch. The archway features 300 bikes and was on display in California.
Hi friends and supporters of Bikes4Life
Our Sunday Workshops are back in full swing at our temporary residence in Brighton East.

We need as many people in the upcoming weeks to help us collect, sort and fix donated bikes for our next project/s. So if you have some spare time we would love to see you there!!!
