Bicycles for Humanity - Thunder Bay completed its ninth shipment of bicycles to Africa yesterday, bringing the total number of bicycles shipped to well over the 4000 mark.

This year, one of our volunteer's fifth grade group of school kids painted a sign to go with the bicycles. I though it to be very cool...



We started loading at 10:00am, predicting a four hour time frame to complete the loading process. At exactly 2:00pm, we closed the door on the tractor trailer, and the driver snapped on the seal...



Of the hundreds of bicycles we had staged for the shipment, all but one went into the shipping container. And that one just would not fit. And, believe me, the loading crew knows how to fill a box with bikes...



So, though none of them will likely see this note, thanks to all of the volunteers who helped add one more special day to my life... (by the way, that is my oldest grandson, front row second from our right).
