Our Fertile Ground receives 10 Bicycles

February 9, 2021

9 February 2021 ~ PSTP bicycle Distribution Programme distributes 10 bicycles to Our Fertile Ground based at Rondebosch Common.  Our Fertile Ground cycling program is a multifaceted program that provides the opportunity for children and young adults to be included in something that everyone admires: athletic competition. Most of them have had no one who supports their efforts and struggles through life but Our Fertile Ground brings them into their program and teaches them despite any and all obstacles. They find themselves on the road with cheering supporters and a crowd that believes in them and their success. They learn from accomplishment in a world where very little has been previously offered. Rather than get involved in violence and crime, they are given the opportunity to have an athletic outlet and the love and support of their team.  They allow them to experience progress and success as they finish the bike races that they have prepared for all year long.  Proud PSTP partnership with Western Cape Government of Transport and Public Works, Qhubeka, Pedal Power and BEN.

Bicycles building entrepreneurs

February 8, 2021
It’s always great to hear from the outside, as to how bicycles have played a role to impact the beneficiaries we serve. Pieter Silberbauer, owner of Trail’s End Bike Hotel speaks about the impact that has been created by providing bicycles to youth in Grabouw.
As part of the Grabouw BEAUTIFUL Campaign recycling project, deserving beneficiaries earn new bicycles in exchange for various commitments such as cleaning rivers, recycling waste, and improving their school grades.
Once their bikes are earned, these youths are encouraged to improve their cycling skills. Trails End hold regular training clinics and bike maintenance courses for them in collaboration with BEN Pedal Power Association and Qhubeka Charity
Many of these youngsters are now taking part in the regular cycling events hosted in the Elgin Grabouw Valley part of the greater local cycling community.

The Heart of BEN

January 19, 2021

January 2021 – In 2008 a young boy of 3 came to Cape Town from Congo with his Father and due to circumstances he was moved to a SA Children’s Home in Cape Town. He has lived there until now, at the age 16. Although still under the auspices of the home he is going through a trial period of 6 months with his family Father, new Step Mother and Step Sisters, in Diep River. If all goes well he will be placed permanently with his Father.

This move meant that he had to change schools.  He is academically sound and is particularly fond and skilled at rugby. So, due to his attributes and after a lot of effort from lots of people at SAYes, he has attained a sponsorship at an affluent school in the southern suburbs of CT.  One of the shortfalls was transport to and from school.  We at BEN received a kind donation of a bicycle from a gentleman and felt that this was a surely a worthy beneficiary.

We wish you all the best for the future.  Enjoy your bicycle and stay safe!
