Pink Scooters to raise awareness in Botswana

In 2010 Journey of Hope Botswana (JOHB) embarked in its first Breast Cancer Awareness “Big Ride” across Botswana. A group of 12 women drove their pink Vespas stopping in five important cities in the country. They started off from Maun in the North and ended their journey in Gaborone in the South, reaching approximately 800 men and women with awareness talk workshops and providing over 300 free breast examinations for those who attended.

The second Big Ride starts today, Monday 22 August 2011. The 12 riders are joined by 4 pink support vehicles, 1 ambulance, 4 registered nurses and 8 support volunteers.

This year they will leave from Gaborone and head north for Maun, 1000 kilometres away. They will travel through an alternate route in order for Breast Cancer Awareness talks and breast examinations to be held in selected settlements not reached by last year's ride.

Poster For Tomorrow is proud to announce its support to Journey Of Hope Botswana. We're going to provide computer software and hardware to support the JOHB project.

Hello Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe!

This week Joel Holland was in Gaborone, Botswana, Ruth Klotzel at the Stellenbosch Academy, South Africa and Götz Gramlich at the Zimbabwe Institute of Vigital Arts in Harare, Zimbabwe

We've received these two quite wonderful pieces of feedback on their work from the course leaders, which are genuinely heart warming. Thanks and congratulations to Joel, Götz and Ruth and everybody else involved.

"I just want to thank you very much for the wonderful human and designer Götz Gramlich! He's an amazing guy in every way and we feel incredibly lucky to have him here! The students have been blown away by his talent and also his humility! It's an experience they will not forget in their lives and he has opened up their eyes to the myriad of possibility in the world of design.

Best, Saki"

"I would just like you to know how impressed I have been with Joel in this workshop. I have a few of my students taking part as well as the designers and it has been a wonderful, instructive and inspirational experience for all - thank you for including us and congratulations on a magical idea - I suspect that this is the norm of response - power to you.

All the best, Steve."
