Giving Back - Build a Bike with Cadbury

As I was watching my morning television program Heather Moyse, an Olympian, was talking about her recent charity work with Cadbury. Cadbury has a campaign, where they'd like to donate 5,000 bicycles for school children in Africa. In order to donate the bikes, they have created a "Bicycle Factory" where you can build 5 parts/day and 100 parts make a complete bike! This is a fun exercise for children and for everyone who surfs the web. It only takes a couple minutes to sign-up and make a difference. It's completely free and you have 90 days left to make a bike. So if you do 5 parts/day for 20 days, then you helped send 1 bike to a kid in need. Heather advised that the bicycle will save a child 3/4 time. So it usually takes then 2 hours to walk back and forth to school, with the bike it'll only take 30 mins total. It's important to teach our children about charity and here's a fun way to do it! There are also videos on the site showing past deliveries of the bikes to the children! If you feel this is also a worthy cause please sign-up! I have created a group called "Silly Baba, Silly Mama"! Hope you join by clicking here! Happy reading (or rather building),Rachel
