‘I love the idea of being able to make a difference in the lives of the disadvantaged people all over the Western Cape. I have always had a dream to help people, and being able to work with BEN is a dream came true. Now through this work I am able to touch the lives of so may kids, from our backyards until Eden and further. ‘To see their faces light up on receiving a bike is the greatest gift I could ever wish for. To think such a small thing can get me such a great reward!’ 
Beverley Roode, Project Manager
 
 ‘When I used to walk past a child in the street who looked as though he was not well cared for, I promised myself that one day I would make a contribution. At BEN, and using bicycles, I am now able to make this contribution – helping to alleviate poverty and improve the quality of learners’ lives.’ 
Trevor Knowlden,
Outreach Officer
