Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Joshua, Charis & Joe are cycling 'The Big Pedal', which is a 46 mile trip from Glasgow to Edinburgh and Daniel is cycling 'The Wee Jaunt', an 18 mile round trip from Linlithgow to Edinburgh & back again.

Joshua & Daniel's mum and dad and Charis & Joe's dad (as well as other people from our church) have been to Rwanda and spent time with people there, listening to their stories and visiting their homes.  Some people shouldn't have to live in the houses that they do, and so Bishopbriggs Community Church said they would help to build 20 houses.  16 have now been built since 2009, with 4 more houses outstanding.  Each house costs about £6000 to build and we would like to help.
