THE EAST AFRICAN CYCLING CHALLENGE 3500 km

A Scout friend from Uganda John Ugandan Balonga sent me an event of a long range Safari (3500 km) in Uganda visiting countries on Africa, namely stops at Aruha, Kampala, Nairobi, Bujumbura, and Kigali, ( only the first 5scoutS under twelve from different countries today post on my FB page the countries of these cities will receive a badge from Turkey ) This promotion photo made me dream an activity and I wrote my ideas to him as following (Paragraph 1-3) and ideas to make it a Worldwide friendship and solidarity event. I wrote my ideas to make it (Paragraph 4) Please let me know your ideas. I hope our friends in Africa make this event. With my capacity I will try to post it on (1) My FB page Global Youth Activities and Umit S. Baran (2) Scout org Messengers of Peace heroes page (3) to my group The Scout Friendship foundation on Facebook to UN FAO YUNGA page if I make a Tribe with Cycling lovers in Ankara ( I made a flash mob with them on a 350 environment event some time ago) (4) Courage youth groups I know to promote UN FAO YUNGA Energy and Climate change activities (5) The Global youth service day at April) and more all along to the event I hope you care to give ideas and some will to encourage this project. If I have 5 countries I will be very happy to start on global level 1. They can make climate change challenge activity .
