Yesterday, after 1,160 kilometers of commuting over the past 7 weeks, the wheels of my bicycle finally stopped spinning.
I am deeply thankful that so many have latched on to the challenge, so that a total of $7,366.- has been raised - which is great. This constitutes a solid financial base for the project in Ladakh. I joyfully anticipate seeing how the money is going to make a difference in the lives of the Nepalese slave worker community in North-India. And, yes, I also do believe that the giving of the money is making a difference in our lives too!
One of my jobs when traveling to Ladakh in a week’s time will be to set up the structure for the project, including a bank account, guidelines for the use of the money and a committee overseeing the distribution. We want to make sure that the money is used where it is intended to be used – that’s my responsibility. At the end of the day, however, we trust that God is going to bless this!
Payment Instructions:
Payments to be made by cheque or cash, either to me (Daniel Burgi) or to Sutherland Church. If you wish to get a tax receipt for your donation, please make out a cheque to Sutherland Church and attach a note “Ladakh Relief Project.”

SLAVERY?????
Unfortunatly, it is true. We still have slavery on this planet - albeit in new garbs. "Bonded Labor" is one of the contemporary forms of slavery - most often found in Nepal, India and Pakistan. It is estimated that some 20 million individuals are in some form of bonded labor situation in those three countries alone!

I was stunned to discover in India just such a group of exiled Nepalese laborers working under slave-like conditions in the Himalayan town of Leh/Ladakh.
One thing led to another, and together with a local committee from among the Nepalese slaves, I am in the process of setting up

The project has 3 components:
1) Relief: Set up a fund for helping the families with their immediate needs such as medical care, school fees and even groceries and housing.
2) Community development: About 50 of the Nepalese laborers are Christians, forming the core group of the thousands of Nepalese workers in Leh. It is stunning how these Christians live out their faith among the suffering community. However, as they struggle for sheer survival they are hardly able to be connected as a community. We therefore intend to bring in a Christian Nepalese community-facilitator (a Pastor) who will shepherd this community.
3) Economical: Most of the Nepalese laborers work in the construction sector. We want to help them with trainings and a micro-loan to organize themselves as a co-operative in order to gain economically some ground under their feet.

fundraising: how it works...
I'd like to offer you the opportunity to become part of the project and share in the blessing. This is how it works: Until I leave for India in November I will commute from North Vancouver to Regent/UBC on my bicycle rather than taking the bus. Asv of 17. September, the odometer of my bike has been reset, starting at zero. You are invited to make a commitment to contribute x-amount per every kilometer I cycle until 7. November.
Example: You pledge to contribute 10 Cents for each kilometer I’ll do in the fundraiser commute. Suppose I’ll put in 850 kilometers. You owe $85.- which will directly benefit the Nepalese people in Ladakh and will be used for their immediate needs.
So, it is quite simple. You choose the amount per kilometer you’d like to contribute. I’ll cycle – except when it pours cats and dogs. Roundtrip per day is 54 kilometers; I usually am on campus 3 times a week. I'll keep you posted on the progress...
pledge your contribution by email to burgi_family@gmx.net
You can pledge as little as 1 Cent or as much as you like.
