Pedalling Powell
Participating in Joyride
Christchurch, Canterbury
Come along for the ride and support me, while I pedal my little legs for the folks of Kolkata. My commitment is to cycle instead of drive, as much as I can for the month of October. I will try and post some page updates during this time! A few reasons why I've taken up the challenge are below.
1. As a current flat-city-resident, it would be rude to not embrace a lifestyle of cycling
2. I care deeply about Papatūānuku
3. The work of Common-Good Coffee and Joyya inspire me
4. Kudos to the longtime friends currently serving in India
In Kolkata, India, extreme poverty and modern slavery leave little room for joy. Joyya provides life-changing support — transforming kids, individuals, families and entire communities. Joyride exists to create spaces where kids can just be kids. Where they no longer need to be the income earner or the domestic help, and they can just experience joy. Funds raised through Joyride will go towards buying equipment, running events, supporting schooling and youth groups, and having a whole lot of fun.

Come reCYCLE with me! 10 October 2024
Over the past few years I have become increasingly aware of the mismanaged waste in my corners of the world. These places include work, home, friends homes, publics spaces etc. Waste is not a pretty topic, but I personally feel pretty committed to doing my bit to ensure that a bit less trash goes to landfill during my time here. For this month I am committed to cycling the often forgotten recycling items including bottle tops, soft plastics and tetrapaks across town to their various drop off points. I am committed to doing my bit to "spark good" across the seas in Kolkata and here in my neighbourhood, all while burning the quads. I would love it if you could go to my page and support me in fundraising!

In Kolkata a lot of kids have pretty tough lives and don't get to enjoy just being kids. Joyride is your opportunity to bring a little joy!
