Hi, while not wanting to undermine the efforts of Monica and the EDSNUB Bikes for Schools project, I thought I'd point out that it is now possible to donate your old bike to ReCycle via Action Bikes:

I help support a bike workshop in Malawi that benefits from shipments of bikes from ReCycle. I know how well our second hand bikes are received in Malawi - kids cycling to school and farmers taking their produce to the market to name but two. It's great to be able to donate bikes through London bike shops.


Best wishes

Hi


Thought you might be interested in seeing a photo of some of the people who use bikes donated to Re-Cycle http://www.re-cycle.org/for Malawi to help in combatting child trafficking.


Community volunteers raise awareness of the problem in their villages and help people (mostly families who allow their children to be trafficked and farmers who use boys to herd cattle all day)understand their responsibilities to children. Volunteers are also often involved in rescuing children from exploitative labour situations.


You can donate your bike to Re-Cycle by dropping it off at Action Bikes: http://www.actionbikes.co.uk/bikes-for-africa.html


Best wishes

    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
    • I'm very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that Carl has never been forgotten in our community.
    • Thank you, it seems to be a few mins from Albrighton Community Fridge so I'll split the load.
