February 19, 2005 – In response to the sorrow seen in the eyes of Cambodian children on trips to South East Asia, four international women have planned a month-long marathon bike ride to fund the construction of a rural school. The ride, called “Protect Earth, Protect Yourself” (PEPY), is slated to raise $16,000 for the nonprofit American Assistance for Cambodia, an internationally acclaimed program that has already built
over 260 schools across the country. Heralding from the USA, the UK,
and New Zealand, these women will visit remote villages, stopping to
teach about prevalent environmental and health issues at local schools
and orphanages.
