What a year. globalbike has gone from a series of conversations at Cafe Ishi in Spartanburg, SC to a project that has purchased 51 bikes for community care workers in Zambia.
I can't say enough for the US based globalbike team, Jean, Kelly, Thomas, Monica, and Eric, the entire team has spread the word, sold coffee, and bounced an enormous amount of ideas off of each other. The Zambian based team from Project Concern International is with out a doubt full of all stars Charles, Tom, and Yvonne, have been the most helpful, appreciative and responsive team I have worked with. globalbike wouldn't be so successful so quickly without these two teams.
so it has been a wild 6 months. from idea to implementation - and 51 BIKES!!!
A good friend of mine told me that New Year's wasn't a time for resolutions but for goals - they are easier to keep. So my goals for globalbike in 2007 -
1. sell out of the pecan flavored coffee - and get our own blend!
2. provide online donations.
3. solidify globalbike organizationally.
4. keep buying BIKES!!!!
5. celebrate the heros that spend their days riding globalbikes.
Happy new year and thanks for reading.
