With the overwhelming response to 88bikes, we've been scrambling to figure out what we're going to do once the counter hits "0". There is certainly no lack of need, especially in countries like Cambodia, so what we're thinking is this: After the 88 bikes are gone, which should happen sometime tonight or tomorrow, we'd like to invite anyone who would still like to contribute, to do so with a sum of their choice. The money will be used to further the 88bikes project, providing for things like repair tools, bike lights and extra tires. Any further contributions will also be used to help make the kids self-sufficient in developing an on-site bike shop at the orphanage. The kids will be able to fix their own bikes, and make money fixing the bikes of others. Jared and I will continue to work directly with Palm Tree Center and Friends of Cambodian Children to help things along. As always, all contributions are fully tax deductible and go straight to Friends of Cambodian Children.
Again, thanks to EVERYONE who has donated a bike or simply dropped a kind email or phone call. We are seriously blown away and inspired by the response, and it has made this holiday season one of the happiest and most memorable of our lives.
