Vélo Afrique 2017: a trip to remember
Hans Christian Andersen once said “to travel is to live”. And he was right. Some journeys we never forget. Personally, I will always remember my trip to Africa in November, 2017. With a group of 40 kindred spirits, we set out for Cameroon on a fundraising mountain bike tour with Vélo Afrique. Vélo Afrique is a non-profit organization that invests in the construction of schools in Cameroon and Senegal. The proceeds of our trip went specifically toward the extension of a technical school for 700 boys and girls in Foumbot.
