TESTIMONIALS

‘When I started cycling it was just a bike, when I started cycling with the school it was a whole different thing. I didn't know about wearing a helmet, I did not know the road rules. I used to talk a lot in class because I did not know what was going on. Now I give the answers. You have to focus on the road, now I can focus in the classroom.’

Learner, Lavender Hill High School

“I had a bike and used to cycle every day until it was stolen. For months I had no income. Times were very hard. BEN gave me a bike and now I am able to use the bike to go out there and look for work again."

Bernadette,

“I am involved with different nature conservation community projects. I normally rely on a taxi or lifts to get me where I need to go. It is expensive and I have to often walk far distances. The bicycle I received from BEN has helped me carry out my work in the community."

Nathan,

I have been trying to better myself, cycling keeps me away from alcohol and gives me motivation to improve my life. I have given up smoking since I started cycling and have even entered myself into my first race

Marius,

‘It helps that children now arrive easily to school. BEN's training was also responsible for the kids being able to repair and maintain their bikes themselves.'

Rural School, headmaster

“My bicycle is very special to me, because it was my reward for doing well at school, something I take very seriously. Looking at my bike reminds me to always work hard to make a success of my life.“

Zareen Ludick, 15 years olD - Plettenberg Bay

“You cannot lie when you’re on bicycle, it will always tell you the truth.”

Fagodien Campher, Lavender Hill BEC owner

“The bicycle has taught me how to live a simple life”

Meshack Nchupetsang, Westlake BEC owner
