Bikes Not Bombs will ship our 23rd container to the Village Bicycle Project in Ghana on Sunday July 18th!  Village Bicycle Project provides subsidized bicycles and maintenance training to the most rural villages throughout Ghana. The affordable mobility a bicycle offers leads directly to increased economic activity, greater access to education and health care, and personal empowerment. Village Bicycle Project also provides subsidized tools and advanced mechanics training to local mechanics, building capacity and improving the infrastructure for long-term bicycle repair and use.

We start at 10:00 am (bagels and coffee provided) and work until we finish, which we expect to be 4:00pm. We'll take a break around 1pm for a pizza lunch (provided) and a short talk about the project. Volunteers can come for any part of this time that works for you. Experience not required. We'll be moving, sorting, and loading bikes, wheels, and spare parts. You may wish to bring work gloves.

This event happens RAIN or SHINE!

Directions

This event does NOT happen at Bikes Not Bombs, but is just around the corner. We will be loading from a big parking lot at 179 Boylston St., Jamaica Plain, 2 blocks from the Stony Brook T stop on the Orange Line. Coming from the BNB HUB at 284 Amory Street, turn right on Amory. At the first traffic light turn right on Boylston Street (where the Stony Brook T stop is on your left) and then turn right into a large parking lot which is part of the Brewery Complex. You'll see our 40 ft. shipping container parked in this lot, just off the street.
