We met these two bike riding boys (and many others) while driving on the main road to Iringa in Tanzania. As the picture shows, this is two highly advanced and homemade bikes.

While talking to these kids, I got an urge writing a short blog about kids and how different their lives are compared to "our" children at home (in Norway and Europe). These bikes are definitely not the most secure way of travelling, but these bikes are "look-alikes" to the ones you can buy for hard cash (which the boys don't possess).

Amazingly many dreams can be fulfilled if you have a bit of skill, imagination and willpower.

Before we talk about Norwegian children, lets just browse into Africa for a minute. You are bound to think differently when you as a European make footprints on African soil. Especially when you look at children in their daily life... Read more about this on the blog page here...
