Lesson 3

Bikes for the world

Bikes for the World

Bikes for the World is a simple project that rescues unwanted bicycles and sends them to other countries.

Task 1

Work in groups and decide how Bikes for the World could help the people in Namibia. Make a list of your ideas (a relevant internet site can be found on page 190).

Task 2

Look at the World map in the Appendix and see where Namibia is. Find out as much as you can about Namibia (e.g. language, natural features, currency). People in Namibia face problems similar to those that people face in other countries. What kind of problems does Namibia have? How can a bike help to solve them? For more information and ideas check p. 160.

Namibia has a population of 2 million people
who live all over a very big country.

Project - How can we help people in Namibia to get more bikes?

In groups of three, think of the different steps you need to make a plan to get bikes for the people in Namibia. Compare your ideas with the steps below. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
