Great Aussie Rickshaw Ride Against Global Poverty

Published 19th August 2010 - 2 comments - 911 views -

I heard about this unique Australian adventure via Bangladesh. Rezwan is Regional Editor for Global Voices South Asia. He blogs at The 3rd world view 'Views and links from a human being who hails from the so called third world'.

He sent me this post: The Great Aussie Rickshaw Ride with links to their video promotion.

You can find all about the ride and the Bangladesh connection at The Great Aussie Rickshaw Ride website or their Facebook group.

I will update their progress when I return to Melbourne from Kuala Lumpur.
