Riding for handicap International
Hello Susan and Grant
I am a newbie on the Hubb  but addicted  for ages,
Together with my wife Patricia I did work for Handicap International (HI)( known from:Ban landmines, ban clusterbombs actions etc..)( personal finance volunteering gifts volunteer at handicapinternational.org) We worked in Congo,in Yemen and in Sri lanka and now we are about to end our mission in Indonesia..and ....taking a break to..
YES...we are planning to make our dream come true  (I just submited a request for a blog:Brussels to Christchurch(NZ) and...)(pat and pol)
We would like to visit some missions of HI on our tour (in SE Asia) and we hope to create some awareness about our work and to do some sensitization on the subject...
Is it possible to link Handicap International website with this blog, or to create a link for donations to the organization?
I am afraid to be very much of an amateur on internet :confused1:
Can I submit such a idea to my organization?
Can I request some technical assistance to create such a link( if Icould eventualy not manage this?
Thanks for listening,
Meet you on the road somewhere...

Riding to link schools.
Hi,
we are planning a ride next year from UK to Australia. Our aim is twofold:
1) To raise awareness of the plight of the Ethnic groups in Burma.
2) To link schools around the world to celebrate our similarities and promote acceptance of our differences.
We currently fund a refugee school on the Thai/Burma border which came about through us travelling in the other direction (only got to Thailand and volunteered there for 6 months instead).
we are both teachers who work in Special Education schools. I wonder if we can work together for mutual causes.
Many Thanks
Andrew and Wendy

Helping out at home
If you happen to live in the USA and think you will never be in the position of helping someone in the heart of africa, think again. You have skills and resources that can make a real difference. My wife and I were at a indian reservation in New Mexico last fall and shared some of our skills, time and money. My wife saved a wonderfull old wise womans leg. She had a bad infection and wouldn't use the health care available to her so my wife acompanied her to the town hospital and made sure they didn't admit her and keep her away from her people. I fixed the gas supply so they could cook and then fixed the hot water heater that had been broken for a year. We helped out several other people that didn't have running water in their house. We left with a really good feeling in our hearts and continue to send books and money to the headman to be used for the children.

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.
