BEN South Africa
In 2008 we received a call from Frank Finneran, from Seattle who had just
returned from a safari in Ndumo, South Africa. As part of the safari they
had a one day cultural exchange with the local community and Frank asked many
in Ndumo what they needed and the answer was bicycles. Frank contacted us and
founded B4H Seattle, www.b4hs.org
In the last 32 years the B4H Seattle team has sent 3 BEC’s to Ndumo and to the Izulu Orphans Project ,
www.izuluorphanprojects.co.za outside of Empangeni. B4H Seattle has grown to cover much of
Western Washington and help is always welcome, as a community Seattle has embraced NE, South Africa.
Today many Rotary clubs also work closely on this initiative with the Districts of Durbin and Seattle
on board and partnerships with the clubs in the Empangeni area. If you are a community in this part of
South Africa or if you would like to join the B4H Seattle team, please contact Frank at
ff@frankfinneran.com or visit the chapter website www.b4hs.org
