My Nonprofit Reviews

A friend summed up the conundrum perfectly, if we engage with what is going on in the wider world it can be very effecting, so it is much easier to disengage and live in naivety. Living in ignorance provides some kind of emotional protection. But ignorance and naivety didn't sit well with me, I was trying to work out with how to live with a conscience.

In World Bicycle Relief I found a group of people who cared about the same things I did, who had also experienced the freedom and opportunity that bicycles can bring and who were using their love of cycling to make a difference. It connected dots for me. It was so easy to get involved, and to get involved in a way that was so much more engaging than just giving my money to their cause. It became my cause too.

It's been an amazing journey over the last 6 months, and no doubt will continue to be going forward.
