Thanks to Raoul, Mary, Nick, and the rest of you at Working Bikes for the 15 bikes for Emmet School. Emmet will be sending formal acknowledgement and FORES (Friends of Robert Emmet School) can also if you wish. Here are a few photos of today's festivities for whatever use they may be.
Working Bikes will pay for the transportation of another container of bikes from Bikes Not Bombs, in Boston, to our partner Maya Pedal, in Guatemala.
We managed to get a container this (past) weekend and 25 brave volunteers filled it in the pouring rain! Visit Raul's Picasa Web Album to see how wet everybody got!
We packed 320 26" mountain bikes, 93 24" mountain bikes and 139 20" kid's bikes. This adds up to 552 bikes. We also loaded about 80 boxes of books.
