It seems incredible that we are moving into the last week of this epic journey! Even though I couldn’t be with Morgan on the road, the brief points I saw him at different stages of his incredible journey were great to show support and to see how the W2W spirit was going strong. We …
On behalf of ACF’s staff, volunteers, alumni group and saving club I would like to say thank you very much for your visit to ACF, sharing experiences for our Timorese youth, and involving young people in the motorbikes rally. This is very great boost for ACF, to promote public awareness in national and international sites. …
It was great to be able to spend a few days with Morgan and the team here in Aceh and North Sumatra. Apart from anything else, it was a welcome change for me from all the doom and gloom of conservation in Indonesia. Still…..we saw some pretty depressing things in the Tripa swamps too, …
For Baan Gerda, Wheel2Wheel is a helpful vehicle to roll out our messages which need to be taken to non HIV/AIDS communities. As far as the little Baan Gerda village (www.baangerda.org) is concerned it is necessary to understand that practically everybody in that community carries the virus.

RIDING FOR WHEEL2WHEEL: 20 DAYS ON THE ROAD WITH MORGAN PARKER Read More »
The day before the Wheel2Wheel team rode into Kuala Lumpur we were a bundle of nerves, we still had no confirmation if there were any companion riders and we were worried if reporters will turn up for the press conference scheduled for the following day. But come Thursday morning as Morgan Parker rode …
What an incredible experience it was to visit Baan Gerda, a community for children infected with HIV in Lop Buri province, Thailand. I am so glad I went, and really happy my two young daughters shared this unique experience. On Sunday, April 17, we travelled to Baan Gerda and joined up with the Wheel2Wheel team …
I have just returned from my visit in Cambodia with New Hope. It was another eye opening opportunity for me. I was amazed to see all those smiling faces despite the fact that they are all living in slums and in “extreme” living conditions. Monetary help is essential to New Hope, but showing “love” …
