Story

india. 2,500 km. an unfit rickshaw. 2 weeks. a feisty mexican. a crazy american. an adventure. 2 charities and $1,700 to raise!

family and friends,

we have signed up for a rickshaw race in india from march 28, 2010 to april 11, 2010. we are to cross india from cochin (the south) to sikkim (the northeast) in a less than unfit vehicle: with only 3 wheels and half a horse power, the rickshaws are built for short distances and flat terrains. all of this in only 2 weeks! the roads will go from paved to not existent; the weather will be unpredictable; the rickshaws will break down and the route will be loosely plan. hey, it's all part of the adventure!

in doing this, we hope to contribute to 2 charities providing great help in india: frank water projects (funding "sustainable clean water projects in developing countries across the world") and mercy corps (alleviating "suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities"). our goal is to raise £500 or ~$850 for each charity.

PLEASE, help us reach our 2 goals by donating through our 2 justgiving.com profiles by clicking on the icons on our team website or by using the facebook application. when donating, REMEMBER that the website is in sterling pounds (£). 

$10 can go a long way! help us help india and make this adventure possible!

india. 2,500 km. un motocarro. 2 semanas. una mexicana. un americano. una aventura. 2 caridades y $1,700 dolares que recaudar!

familiares y amigos,

nos inscribimos a una carrera en motocarro por la india del 28 de marzo del 2010 al 11 de abril del 2010. cruzaremos la india desde cochin (el sur) hasta sikkim (el noreste) en un vehículo poco preparado: con solo 3 llantas y medio caballo de fuerza, el motocarro fue diseñado para distancias cortas y terrenos planos. todo esto en tan solo 2 semanas de recorrido! la carreteras irán de ser pavimentadas a terraceria; el clima sera impredecible; los motocarros se echaran a perder; y la ruta sera poco planeada. pero, todo esto es parte de la aventura!

con esta aventura, esperamos poder recaudar fondos para 2 organizaciones que otorgan gran ayuda a india: frank water projects (que provee fondos para proyectos de agua potable sostenibles en países en desarrollo en todo el mundo) y mercy corps (aliviando el sufrimiento, la pobreza y opresión ayudando a la gente a construir comunidades seguras, productivas y justas). nuestro objetivo es recaudar £500 (libras esterlinas) o ~$850 (dolares) para cada organizacion.

POR FAVOR, ayudennos a alcanzar nuestras 2 metas donando a través de justgiving.com dándole click a los iconos en la pagina de internet de nuestro equipo o por medio de las aplicaciones en facebook. RECUERDEN que la pagina esta en libras esterlinas. $10 dolares pueden ser de gran ayuda! ayudennos a ayudar a la india y a hacer esta aventura posible!

GRACIAS,

adam y malena.
