Bicycles for people in Ghana, Africa

I've told some of you about this , here are more details !
This is a great contest I found that supports a very worth cause in Ghana and allows you to feel good about eating chocolate bars ! Each Bar code (play on words there) entered contributes one of one hundred parts needed to build a bike. They are donating up to 5000 bikes to people in Ghana this year. Go to the website and see the videos .... they also have a cool animated factory that you can see your bar code entered and turned into a bike part. Look on the top left and see your name and how many parts you have contributed and how many total bikes have been contributed... Plus ...at the end of the contest someone wins a trip for 2 to go to Ghana all expenses paid to help distribute the bikes... Check it out at www.thebicyclefactory.ca
