Bikes For Remote Indigenous Kids in Australia

New Bikes For The Mt Liebig Kids

"The Bikes for Bush Foundation presented the 30 bikes to the children of Mt Liebig, about 325 kilometres west of Alice Springs."

When Response was in the UK there was a bike project that took found, left, lost and stolen bikes from the police, made them lovely and then gave them away to local inner-city kids with free workshops where the young people could bring them in and learn to repair and maintain them. It made a big difference to young people's lives and we're hoping it can do the same in remote Australia. Will there be any kind of similar follow-up here?
