Forming bonds through cycling
Learners from Gauteng schools arrived in Durban recently as part of the Cycalive 2015 campaign.
CYCALIVE 2015 cyclists were welcomed by the Council of KwaZulu-Natal Jewry to Durban recently.
Cycalive was launched by Torah Academy, Moletsane High and Tladi Technical in 1998. It has since been joined by Pace College, Soweto. Cycalive is an event for Grade 11 learners of different cultural and religious backgrounds.
Fifty learners are selected to represent the participating schools and cycle in relay from Johannesburg to Durban to promote the building of bridges and forming of bonds between young South Africans and their respective communities.
The cyclists, who left Jo'burg on Sunday 23 August, arrived in Durban on Thursday 28 August. After a parade along the waterfront, the journey ended at the Durban Jewish Club where they were greeted by a welcoming party hosted by the Council of KwaZulu-Natal Jewry and President Ronnie Herr. The cyclists returned to Johannesburg by bus on Sunday 30 August.
The proceeds of this venture will be used to fund Cycalive and excess funds will be used to significantly improve educational projects and needs in the participating schools. Cycalive has also distributed tons of stationery to needy schools.
