A place for friends – old and new. While travelling by bicycle and feeling how fortunate I am to explore this world in this way, there where many oportunities along the way to pay it forward.
Donations to the following aid programs have been made:

A relief action was organized by Marco, a friend from beach volley. He bought and distributed food as well as hygiene products at the LaGeSo (refugee registration in Berlin, Germany). You can contact him over facebook if you’d like to help.
You can find an article about this in the Tagesspiegel here. And some photos about it on his facebook page.
Each day with the help of friends, some shelves in the supermarket were emptied and a growing number of shopping carts with fruits and snacks were making their way to people in need.

A friend of mine was in the area to help people directly buying building materials to get a roof over the people’s head before the start of the raining season. Thank you Bastian!
