Global Agents for Change is a British Columbian (Canada) based, youth-run, non-profit dedicated to youth engagement and creating sustainable solutions to global poverty.

We host an annual event called Riding to Break the Cycle and are recruiting riders for our 2009 tour. Riders will not only be fundraising for microcredit but going on a amazing summer trip of personal growth and fostering dialogue around global development issues.

I was wondering if it would be possible to tell your members about this event and see if any of them would in interested in joining our tour.
