Feel like cycling again! And then a person feels like cycling again! It was as if the Flemish part of me tagged along to Burundi for the UNICEF-mission. Burundi seems like a fantastic country for cycling. Everyone uses a bike for transportation over there. But picture complete kamikaze-pilots with that. The people in Burundi use their bikes as if they were donkeys on which they can load just about everything, sit on top of that and then overload a bit more. I just can't understand how they manage to balance those constructions on wheals. They walk them up the hills and then roll down again with an incredible speed.  The most handy of them even figured out a solution for the problems presented by the hills of the country. They just grab on to a truck and get towed uphill like that. I have seen a truck with no less than six bikers in tow. Very funny !  The chaos of cycling traffic shows that the people from Burundi have no intention to throw in the towel. And that is always the beginning of the solution for the misery these people have to deal with. Because it is simply unimaginable that 5,5 million children under the age of five die every year because of lack of food. 4 million babies don't even reach the age of one month.   And we are dealing with obesity and have the means and technology to get rid of the problem of under nourishment. I can really get upset about this. Come on, why can't this be done?! I can hardly be the only one who thinks like this?! UNICEF can make a difference with our help. UNICEF wants to save 4 million babies in three years. It seems impossible. But for every 34 Euros we give, they can save one child's life. Cheap and efficient, I would say. Only 34 Euros for one life.For their Burundi project, UNICEF aims very concretely on 300.000 Euros. I have met the healthcare workers in the District Sanitaire of Mutaho, I have seen with my own eyes that this money is very well spent. Those people are being trained and guided. And those country side children are very happy with this. I've seen it on the little faces of the 'tamboertjes' at Birashoboka, a centre for the needy children in Kanyosha. How infectious such an African smile can be! And despite everything, they go through life with a smile, and on a bike. Back home, on the day of my CD presentation, I heard that Tour winner Lance Armstrong wants to start cycling again, to make people aware of cancer. He is not the only one who thinks like that. And then a person feels even more like cycling.  Bye everybody Helmut  P.S. donations in favour of UNICEF are welcome on  account number 000-0000055-55 of UNICEF Belgium with the remark "4 miljoen baby's redden" ("save 4 million babies").  Info: www.unicef.be And don't forget to watch 'Stars of Europe' on Friday, on Eén (Belgian television)
