Making Basic Education a Reality in Nicaragua with Cycle 4 SchoolBox

On June 7, 2011 Ilan Levy embarked on an 8000 km bike ride across Canada to raise money for a charity called SchoolBox.

Schoolbox raises money to help children in Central America go to school by building classrooms and purchasing school supplies. 

Basic education for all children is increasingly becoming regarded a fundamental right of children, and this charity helps the children of Nicaragua obtain an education that they would not otherwise have. 

To increase awareness and raise funds for this cause Canadian Ilan Levy is cycling from Vancouver BC to St. John's Newfoundland.  It will take him 81 days to complete the journey, 66 of the days planned for cycling.

Get involved by finding out more about the charity, follow Ilan as he makes his trek across the country, find out how close they are to reaching their $100,000 fundraising goal, learn more about the man making the trek and cycling machine Ilan Levy, make a donation, or find out how you can volunteer.
