5th September 2019 – Many happy faces at Usasazo High School in Khayelitsha as 100 more learners received Qhubeka bicycles on the “learn-to-earn” programme. Bicycles were sponsored by Brietling. Qhubeka Charity Pedal Power Association Bicycling Empowerment Network (BEN)
Special THANK YOU to Christa and Kobus Badenhorst from About Branding CPT | JHB for the generous donation of BEN and Bike4All stickers.
On 2nd August 2019, we carried out our “Mandela Day Lavender Hill BMX Landscape” project. The project was put on hold due to unrest in the area. 30 Lavender Hill learners enthusiastically came and helped plant the indigenous plants which were kindly donated by Ferndale Nurseries in Constantia. It was a fun filled hour with lots of digging and planting. We look forward to distributing Bike4All BMX’s in the near future. Thanks also to Mrs Stain and her learners from Lavender Hill High for diligently cleaning up the weeds as well as assisting with planting. Also to Goodhope Tyres Bergvliet for the old tyres, Onspaarmark for the paint, Pinelands Hardware for the paint brushes and to Afriserv Pty Ltd for the soil provided. We look forward to seeing your garden flourish!
We would like to continue building up the landscape, so if you have any plants or soil to add to this project it would be greatly appreciated. Contact sue@benbikes.org.za.
