BecauseWeCarry - Hilfe für Flüchtlinge auf Lesbos
Donation protected
Cycling is a passion of mine. Especially using the bike to get to places. In an interconnected world where all places are virtually omnipresent, where you hop on a plane and reach the other side of the globe in less than a day, traveling by bike puts a new perspective on the distance between two places. The world grows the longer it takes you to get from A to B. Cycling allows you to appreciate and enjoy the way from A to B and once you start cycling slowly you realise that B is every little moment along the way.
While I can experience these moments out of my own enjoyment, for people fleeing from war and persecution this route is a quest for survival. Where I show my passport to cross a boarder they risk their lives crossing mountains and rivers at night in the hope not to get caught.
Because we Carry is an organisation which works with refugees in the camp Kara Tepe on Lesbos. Their efforts aim to make the lives of those people who left everything behind in hope of a better life a bit easier. They support various projects in the refugee camp.
As a teacher at the International School of Zug and Luzern I am privileged to work with concerned and engaged students who want to support Because We Carry and their cause.
I will cycle from here in Switzerland to Greece along the so-called Balkanroute which many refugees take to get to Central Europe. I want to raise awareness of the situation of those so much less fortunate than us and funds to support Because We Carry.
Have a look at their website and help them by sponsoring me and my ride in June, July and August 2019: 2500 km through 10 countries and approximately 28000 vertical meters. Your support would will be highly appreciated.
