Bikers for Tanzania-Can You Name Three?

This ain't the Sturgis bike gathering folks--it's the ride for Kondoa. Three of our illustrious choir members will be riding their bikes to raise a goal of $100,000 for this project in Africa. SBC has already provided wells, medical treatment, nutritional meals and chicken coops. What else--you may ask? Right behind the chicken coops comes education! The next significant long-term project we have undertaken is to provide Christian-based education to the children of the village. To fund the education program, the annual bike ride was started last year to raise the needed funds. As a result of the ~$35,000 raised last year, an administration building and four classrooms were built; they have a teacher for each classroom; and, have financially sponsored around 35 kids to attend school.

With this year's funds, the goal for Kondoa is to build at least two more furnished classrooms, train and sponsor teachers, provide books, and sponsor children as students in those classrooms each year. The fundraising also provides a meal each day to the students (which is typically the only meal they receive). Additionally, SBC would like to begin a similar project in the village of Mairowa.

If you would like to support one of these riders I'm sure they would be thrilled to have you join their team as a prayer or financial partner. Oh, btw, who are they? Any guesses?

• they're all northerners in the choir room
• one is on the elder board
• two are kormos leaders
• they're all male

Stay tuned for the answers in a couple of days. I'd love to hear your guesses. Who knows--there may even be prizes for the winning answers!
