Alain Wong Bikes for Microcredit Fund
Alain Wong joined Standout Jobs a few months ago. I should have made an announcement, but didn’t get around to it. I think Alain’s forgiven me…
Anyway, Alain is taking on a huge challenge this summer with a 3,000km bike trip from Vancouver, Canada to Tijuana, Mexico on behalf of the Agents of Change micro-credit fund. It’s a great cause. I’m a huge fan of micro-credits and I’ve loaned money through Kiva.org in the past. And some of the folks at Standout Jobs are much more active than I am with Kiva and other micro-credit organizations.
Alain needs your help!
I’ve posted additional information about Alain’s trip and I’d encourage you to get involved.
He’s raising $3,000 for the trip - you can donate right now.
Standout Jobs has pledged to match the first $1,000 that Alain raises, and I know a couple other team members are helping too. Gary Haran for example, found a bike that Alain could use.
Alain’s trip is going to take around 7 weeks. We’ll miss him at the office, but it’s for a worthwhile cause. And we wish him the best.
