The new year, 2010, begins good because Luuk Eickmans takes up office with the Cycling out of Poverty foundation. As winner of Vodafone’s World of Difference competition, Luuk can work for the foundation parttime for 2 years, funded by Vodafone. Besides the voluntery work he already does for Cycling out of Poverty, this price enables him to focus on establishing public private partnerships in Africa. He is convinced that linking African companies to development projects opens up many opportunities in development of Africa. Like Rene Groothuis (Cordaid) sais: There are no poor countries, only countries with a lot of poor people. Luuk will place updates about this assignment on the hyves page of Cycling out of Poverty and this Cycling out of Poverty website.
