Greg Horne from Victoria volunteered with Arte Acción Copán Ruinas last year and painted some terrific murals with kids and young adults. This summer he's cycling for environmental awareness, as you can read here in his own words:

This summer, I (Greg Horne) will cycle from Ottawa to St John, NB with 15 other people on an Otesha bike tour. The goal of this trip is to inspire young people to make environmental sustainability a reality through everyday choices, personal empowerment, and community activism. To make the trip happen, I need to raise $1900. If you can donate something, that would be awesome. I really appreciate any contribution you can make. You can read more about the project, about me (if I don’t know you already), as well as donate online at: http://www.givemeaning.com/thon/greg If you can’t, but know someone who may want to support a youth empowering environmental initiative (parents, teachers?), please invite them to this group or pass along the link. As well, send me an email if you’d like to help out but aren't into inter-money (I’m looking for camping/cycling gear too.) Otesha is a youth driven, positive thinking, community building organization that aims to empower young people to take environmental sustainability into our own hands. While cycling from Ottawa to St. John, NB, we will deliver theatre productions in high schools and facilitate workshops on sustainable living in their surrounding communities. Check out www.otesha.ca for more info. Thanks again, with spokes of inspiration, Greg
