Do we only give out new bikes or will we accept donated bikes?
We do accept donated bikes but I think it would be unwise to do a school presentation with a mix of new and used. Kids can be cruel ''Lek got a new bike but you only got an old one!'' I will publicise the fact that we have a donated bike and if anyone knows a deserving student, please contact me.
I ride a bike, love to join in but it may be too far for me! What can I do?
When we are in your area, I will publicise the time, place and route, You are welcome to join us anywhere along the route or even at the school gates!
How do we chose the students?
We consult with the school and based on assessment by the staff, we decide who will receive a bicycle. We will base our judgement on a number of things:-
School - we are not just looking at the cleverest ones but the ones who give 100%. Many students feel that they are not noticed but they are - working to the best of their ability.
Community - this is very subjective! We are looking for good manners, politeness and a willingness to help others.
Homelife - are they a credit to their family and neighbours?
What type of schools will you visit?
We are not looking at the high-end fee paying schools but more towards the village type schools. I shy away from using terms like poor, under-priviledged and lo-so but I think you know what I mean.If you know of such a school within a 50km radius of Korat, please let me know.
