After 29 days of travelling and 2101 kilometers of pedaling, the bike
adventure has finally reached its conclusion.
Since starting, this trip has helped the secondary school of Logozohe
gain $995 in direct donations and an additional $1,640 have been pledged. Taking into account all of the money
theoretically placed towards Logozohe’s future computer lab, $2,635 of the $3,850 needed has been raised – nearly 70%! This is outstanding!
Crossing the finish line was a great feeling, and part of the team I
started the trip with came back to Natitingou to help me celebrate. We were met by a newspaper reporter, asked to
do a radio interview, and even given free pizza at Chez Guillaume (really
tasty!). All-in-all, a good end to a
great adventure.
There probably won’t be any more major posts put online, but I will
leave this site up for anyone interested in learning more about Benin or
reading about my experience in this country. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at crawford.david.dmc@gmail.com.
