ways to help us Whether it is time, knowledge, space, information
or resources, every one has something to share. By dedicating a few years of our
lives to the Tour of the Americas, we want to share a message with ideas and actions
in order to bring a stone for the construction of another future. But we need
help! Human help and organization matters -
Already before we leaving we need human resources
to help us in the preparation of fund raising activities. But also, we need people
for the management of other aspects of the tour. - During the tour we will
look for places to settle down every night. With your help we wish to build a
hosting bank which will help us find friendly spots
to sleep. - Also, in order to spread our environmental message as widely
as possible, we already look for places to give our conferences.
Maybe you have some good contacts. - And just like us, there are people
among you that traveled, biked and camped quite a bit. Your advices
and suggestions are most welcome.
Financial
help and money matters - In order to accomplish the tour we
have established that the necessary budget will be
around 50 000 E (80 000$CAN). With the departure scheduled in next May, we have
about 15% in the account. - The search for financing becomes more and more
intensive. Among important financial sources are the partners
who wish to sponsor our action. Maybe you
would like to become such a partner or else you know a potential sponsor. -
Of course we wish from all our heart that our project will bring touch some patrons
and generous corporations and bring donations.
However we wished to diversify our income sources. Part of the budget comes from
our personal savings, but we count various other sources like: subsidies, profits
from the sale of diverse promotional products and
the holding of fund raising activities.
