Rolling Home V is upon us. Getting the sleeping bags packed and tires pumped. Long hiatus since Rolling Home IV, filled with excruciatingly sad and difficult projects in South Sudan (2013) and Yemen (2014).  We came away from both with many wonderful colleagues and remain hopeful that the terrible wars in those countries will allow them to one day live in peace. We are ever more aware that in this interconnected world, we in the West are complicit in the suffering of the poor and marginalized in those countries (among others) and will continue through our biking adventures to spread that message. More recently, an exciting project in Uganda (2015) and the candidacy of Bernie Sanders has given cause for hope for a future we and the younger generation can believe in.

So now, before returning to the important work of education for peace, justice and preservation of our natural resources, the time has come for Rolling Home V, a modest three week door-to-door exploration of the coast of Maine.  There may be a part 2 later in the summer, a train and bike combination revisit to Idaho and Montana. Stay tuned for more posts and pictures very soon.
