For The Children Of Us All

Ralley Humanitaire Innsbruck - Bamako

The "action pour les enfant de tous" is a Caritas sponsored project for homeless children in Bamako-Mali-Westafrica. The "Ralley humanitaire Innsbruck-Bamako" is a private venture, designed to directly benefit the children of this center. Participants will support the center by donating their "old" cars to Caritas and fly home.

The Ralley humanitaire is for You if:
- You have got nothing better do do - and do You have anything BETTER to do?

- You want to get to know a civilization, that appears to be so different from what You are used to, yet holds similar values, upon which all societies are based on.


- You are willing to undertake the journey of a lifetime, a journey, Your children and children of Your children will listen to in awe - "what? I can`t believe Dad/Mom/Gramps did that, cool."

-You just want to undertake a journey into the unknown, knowing, that a human beeing will have his or her live changed to the better - because of You.

Make the difference - one on one!

Love and Greetings to the community

Arthur

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
