Every day is an opportunity to make a positive difference in the world. We look for ways to raise the vibration in the communities we roam daily through small, random acts of kindness. Over the past 7+ years our intention to serve has led to the formation of several projects around the globe, many of which we seek to continue supporting via the Peace Pedalers Relief Fund. You can help us grow and expand the following projects by making a donation or by volunteering.

**Active Projects in Red--In need of volunteers & donors ASAP**

Columbia	1.Eco Ciclistas: **New** Juan Carlos and Jamie connected in Cali, Colombia and we were destined to work together. Juan Carlos had a vision to travel 30,000km by bike around South America while giving lectures and educating people about various environmental issues. We decided to sponsor his project with a website and free consulting for his project. He's planning to head out Summer 2010! Check his site at www.ecociclistas.org.
Ecuador	2.Ecuatopia: **New** Ecuador is as close to Utopia as I've seen with mountains, beaches, rivers, jungles, fertile land and plenty of resources. But it's also an environmental disaster waiting to happen. We met three passionate nature lovers Eduardo, Jorge and Julia while traveling through Esmeraldas, Ecuador in November, 2009 who shared our passion to turn Ecuador around and we have started a grassroots organization Ecuatopia to educate, inform and bring Ecuador closer to it's true potential. Check the website here.
Bolivia	3.Operation Agua: **New** While Jamie was riding in Bolivia one rider Bruno shared a vision to make a difference in Bolivia. Over 30% of Bolivians live without access to clean water. Bruno is a water engineer with years of experience installing systems for the government. Together they have created Operation Agua to bring fresh water to smaller villages often off the radar screen of government projects. Check the website for the latest. The pilot project is live and we have a $22,000 goal for our first community. Check the website & make a donation ;)
Uganda	4. Good Hope School, Uganda: **Updated** I picked up two special guest riders in Uganda named Innocent and Warren. Innocent shared his dream to start a school to help AIDS orphans and needy to receive education in his community. I vowed to help him and he managed to get land donated, built buildings, found teachers and now we have over 160 students at the school! We now need an additional $22,000 to finish the build out & double capacity. This is grassroots at it's very best--no administration costs, no overhead, no nonsense. See the website at www.goodhopeschool.net and follow the investigation steps. Contact Innocent for information or to schedule a visit to Uganda to see the school. PayPal donations to this project can be sent to goodhopeuganda@gmail.com or check website for for credit card and more!
Rwanda	5. Good Hope School, Rwanda: **New** This project is just kicking off right next door to our pilot school in Uganda. Another Peace Pedalers guest rider Pascal has donated his entire family plot of land to start Good Hope Rwanda! We need $18,000 to launch our first classroom and kit up for up to 75-100 students! We would love your support as we launch the next school of Good Hope! See the website at www.goodhopeschool.net and follow the investigation steps. Contact Pascal to schedule a visit to the site or more info. Donations to Good Hope Rwanda can be sent via PayPal to goodhoperwanda@gmail.com or check website for for credit card and more!
Chile	6. Positive Press/Prensa Positiva: When Chilean Roberto Corona & Jamie met in Iquique they shared a common vision of a news channel & online source of purely positive content. Enough is enough with repetitive negative news that represents such a small percentage of the REAL news. The good stuff is rarely covered by major networks and we feel the world is awakening and finally ready for a progressive network. We have launched two multimedia sites www.positivepress.tv in English and www.prensapositiva.tv in Spanish. We are looking for partners, sponsors & volunteers. Contact us to get involved!
Brazil	7. Art for All (Arte Para Todos) : While Jamie was traveling in Brazil he met a special Brazilian friend Sheila Zago. Sheila shared her dream to start a project to share her passion for art and cinema with underprivileged children in her community and eventually worldwide. Art for All is in early development but we are looking for all kinds of volunteers, sponsors and donors for the launch of our first project in Caxias do Sul, Brazil. Contact Sheila for more information.

Previous and Ongoing Projects:

8. Spokes for Hope: This is a was an amazing 2-year project where we partnered with Novartis and The Global Fund to raise funds and awareness to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. With sponsorship from Novartis, Jamie pedaled thousands of treatments of the Malaria treatment Coartem from 2006 to 2008 to small villages in Africa to cure children and elderly from Malaria along his route. We saved hundreds of lives along the way and put huge smiles on the faces of community members all over Africa, especially those with infants and elderly suffering from malaria. We always invite people to investigate the Global Fund and the many initiatives world wide such as Product Red that support the vision to alleviate unnecessary suffering in Africa.

9. Pedal Proud Campaign: This is an ongoing project started by our first Part Time Peace Pedaler Vanessa Lurie. This campaign already raised enough money to donate 100 bikes to South Africans to help assist in alleviating poverty and increasing health and happiness. Bicycles are an excellent alternative to bus, taxi and walking, which many Africans currently use as their method of transport. Check info on Pedal Proud Campaign here

10 . Free Professional Recordings for Musicians: As I travel and meet musicians I record them and give them free CD's they can use to earn income and move their career forward. Many musicians are living gig to gig and can't afford to go into a studio. The Panasonic-Sanken mobile studio is just the ticket and boy are they grateful! And it's a win-win as the music will be featured in the TV series.

11. Peace Pedalers Scholarship Fund : We are sending one guest rider Joseph to school in Kenya and as we meet other riders who want to go to school but are lacking funds we hope to send more. Students have to have excellent grades to receive further funding and school fees are paid term by term.

12. School Supply Delivery: Many children around the world do not have pencils, pens or notepads. They have a huge desire to learn, but need tools to do so. We have delivered hundreds of packages of school supplies to orphans and children in need along our journey and will continue to do this when the opportunity arises.

13. Orphanage Visits: We have visited dozens of orphanages to put smiles on the faces of children and let them know they are loved and appreciated. We give presentations, show photos and videos to inspire them to dream big and believe in themselves. We often bring gifts of toys, school supplies, and always give out stickers and bracelets as a reminder that people do care.

14. Pics for Peace: To remind all the riders of the positive feelings and experiences on the bike I'm carrying a portable photo printer, ink and paper with me as I travel. I give these gifts to the riders, family's and individuals who help the project, and to anyone who touches the project in some way to keep the vibe alive. Check a pic here.
