RIDE FOR EDUCATION

(Lots to read and take in - please persist to end....)
This June, Hazara Muzafar Ali - refugee, humanitarian and founder of Cisarua Learning - is embarking on a 4,000km journey to raise $250,000 for refugee and women’s education in Afghanistan and Indonesia.
Muzafar will be cycling from Maleny, Queensland to Adelaide to change the world's perception of refugees, celebrating 10 years of refugee-led education through Cisarua Refugee Learning Centre (CRLC) - that's right, he'll be riding all the way from Queensland to South Australia!
Join Bike Leichhardt members and Muzafar for coffee/breakfast at Centennial Park.
Option 1 : ride with Dave Halloran from Bar Italia, Norton Street, Leichhardt to Centennial Park - departing 08:00 am sharp
Option 2: Meet in Centennial Park at Centennial Homestead CH Pantry Cafe at 08:45 am
Come ride and share this rare opportunity to hear Muzafar’s powerful stories from underground girls’ schools in Afghanistan and refugee-led classrooms in Indonesia—initiatives that began with just $200 and now support over 1,300 students.
After coffee we will cycle out with Muzafar as he sets off on the next section of his epic ride to the Blue Mountains. The route is still being decided by Muzafar's team but will likely pass by Leichhardt. Ride as far as you want, leave the ride when you want. Bring an OPAL card for rail-bail option.
