A new project for children

Now we finish the project "Prevention and treatment of cervical cancer" successful. For this year’s tour we introduce a new beneficiary: World Vision World Vision (WV) is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender. Their work extends to over 100 million people in nearly 100 countries. When selecting the charity for this year, our objective was to provide a maximum impact and help with the funds we can raise.
The project we have selected is to provide the complete funding to build a library for the students at the Ban Pang Mai Dang school in Ban Chang province.
In addition of the library we intent to donate up to 200 bicycles. The reason for that is that many children in Thailand live too far away from any school to walk the distance. With no public transport available and no means of private transportation, many children are deprived of education... and hence of their future and hope!. The donated bicycles will allow these children to attend the schools. We plan to donate these bicycles not only to the school in Ban Chang, but also to selected WorldVision facilities along the way.

The Tour of Hope 2006 to 2010 - Our success
 "Prevention and treatment of cervical cancer"

To demonstrate personal commitment, and serve as good will ambassador of the corporate community, in reaching out to the less privileged individuals and communities, by sponsoring educational and healthcare support in Asia.
We raise funds for educational and healthcare support for the prevention and treatment of Cervical Cancer in Asian developing countries.
The Tour of Hope (TTOH) is an international non-profit initiative of like-minded individuals, who since 2006 regulary set up bicycle tours to raise funds and increase awareness for charity projects supporting health prevention and education. Thanks to corporate and private sponsors, hundreds of mid-wives were trained in conducting the pap smear test for early detection cancer screening.
Over 100,000 young girls and women were screened by the JPHIEGO-trained mid-wives with the test kits purchased from the proceeds of the TTOH. We appreciate your kind assistance to this worthy cause by getting private donors such as friends, family members and colleagues for pledging money in the name of individual cyclists who pushed themselves across distance and mountains.
For five years running now, the 2010 TTOH was especiall memorable for 2 reasons : the number of active participants has grown to more than 40 riders and as the route brought us through almost 660 km of some of Thailands most beautiful sceneries - from Kanchanaburi province to Bangkok.
