TWO BIRDERS, TWO BIKES, ONE SCHOOL
Leo and Cezary are two 18 year olds riding around Australia on push bikes – spotting as many different types of birds as possible and raising the money to build a school in a remote part of Timor-Leste.
Builecon School is outside Balibo, a three hour drive from the capital Dili. Builecon’s 134 children are being taught in a three classroom building that an Australian engineer has raised great concerns about, believing it is at risk of collapse. The money raised by Leo and Cezary will build a new four classroom building and refurbish the toilets which are currently unusable.
The boys left on January 1 and have been camping in tents and under bridges as they make their way around the country. They have braved floods, extreme heat, closed roads and road-trains in their quest to raise the A$91,000 needed to build the school.
