Solo Bikers Volunteer to Pick up & Deliver Donations for Typhoon Victims

Last Saturday, I saw a post online asking for donations because they lost everything during the typhoon. There were a lot who wanted to send help but didnt know how (either because they cant ship it or because Marikina isnt passable yet via car that time.)

So I posted on various biking groups, baka may gusto magvolunteer with me to pick up and deliver the donations from different private individuals and deliver down to the community. And surprisingly, people did join me

Ang galing lang kasi di ko sila lahat kilala, di kami magkakakilala, iba iba ang pinanggalingan namin, iba iba yung bike namin and yung capacity namin, pero we volunteered together. One of the volunteers, because she isnt confident with her roadbiking skills yet, she volunteered to do the coordination! Di kelangan na mayaman, matalino, malakas, o kung ano pa man para may magawa tayo.

In a gentle way, you can shake the world. 

Thank you to all those who donated and helped pick up and deliver the donations! Maraming maraming salamat po

A lot of the donors were actually worried if we can really deliver the goods safely because we were on bicycles, and it was a lot. But yes, we delivered - figuratively and literally! We delivered around 150kg of donations last Sunday - from food packs to grocery packs, toiletries, diapers, clothing, shoes, bags, rice, etc., and cycled around 80km to all the pick up points - and in full pack!
