why we think we are different

Over the past few weeks globalbike has seen lots of changes. We became an official corporation in the state of SC and we collected lots of bike sponsorships. I have never doubted this project and its potential to be successful but I have been contemplating; why do people choose to give money to us? There are tons of great causes but why us?

I think there are several answers to this questions.

1) Personal Contact - AIDS is a huge issue, and one that sometimes is so haunting we choose to do nothing. By making connections, globalbike makes the issue seem a little smaller.

2) Simplicity - We buy locally sourced bikes, use an established International partner, and strategically model smart organizational practices because we want this to be simple. We collect money for bikes, care workers ride them. Plain and simple.

3) Practical - This is the best word that I think describes the work that we do. Bikes make sense and are a real solution to the thousands who suffer and need the love and support of care workers.
