I was talking for hours yesterday with a friend whom has been involved
as a leader in alternative economics for many years. He's writing the
preface to the first English edition of a book about alternative
currency that was published in German a few years ago, and he's
focusing on cutting edge work to bring the book fully up to date. So
he was asking me a bunch of questions to achieve a certain clarity

hello kevin,we communicated last january,this is another january.
please do you have a project or any link for a project for africa (Nigeria)
Saw you are working in development with bicycles. Here's another: http://www.cheetahdevelopment.org/cheetah/docs/projects/project_cutsheets_dec2010.pdf
"Bicycles are a basic tool of development, improving access to farms, market, jobs, schools, and health care. Village Bicycle Project receives more than 500 bikes a year from the Working Bikes Co-op. Working Bikes is different from other ‘donors’ in that it donates most of the shipping costs, as well as the bikes. VBP teaches basic maintenance and repair, equipping about 1000 people a year with bikes and training. People say things like, “I never knew that I could repair a puncture myself”."
here is a link to the PDF I hope it works for you :

If that doesn't just type this in to google : working bikes cooperative washing machine.
The washing machine project that I heard about is actually in Guatemala. The link above is a list of the recipients of the bikes.
