Canadian Humanitarian

Canadian Humanitarian is an organization dedicated to education. We know that through education and skills development people, families and communities can gain the skills to break out of poverty. At Canadian Humanitarian we partner with local groups in Ethiopia that are providing local solutions to local struggles.

Test of Humanity - 2014

100% of the profit earned from the Test of Humanity race is used to support Canadian Humanitarian and their projects in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is a country that UNICEF has reported to be home to 6 million orphans, which is 33% more than the entire population of BC. In addition, nearly 60% of the 84 million people in Ethiopia are illiterate. Ethiopia is a country that has been ravaged by war, drought, dysentery, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, and one of the consequences of this is a country now plagued by poverty. Canadian Humanitarian believes that by providing individuals with literacy and vocational skills it will also provide them with the tools to break the cycle of poverty, and by doing so they will be able to shape their own lives in a positive way. By riding in the Test of Humanity and supporting these programs you will become an integral part of helping these children build their lives For more information regarding the Canadian Humanitarian organization please visit their website at www.canadianhumanitarian.com. In addition to international support, the organizers of the Test of Humanity race also believe it is important to support local community charitable initiatives such as the Food Bank. At present in the South Okanagan there are 9000 people requiring the food assistance program which requires 700 to 900 food hampers distributed on a monthly basis. In order to help support this worthy cause the Test of Humanity race will be asking each registering participant to bring with them one small bag of non-perishable food items.

The Test of Humanity brings our love of cycling together with the strong words of sharing and community. It brings our families together in the pursuit of our personal best, in sharing support and most importantly the learning of how to make the world a better place.

Canadian Humanitarian-Lethbridge Chapter ( details )

Hello! Our team is composed of two, beautiful high quality, professionally trained women mountain bikers who hope to take the 2014 Test of Humanity by storm...well some of that statement is true. I guess you'll have to see which parts. We both were at the founding meeting of the Lethbridge Chapter of Canadian Humanitarian. We hope to raise not only funds for CH but awareness of the incredible work that they do. UPDATE:The Brains and Beauty behind the team unfortunately broke her wrist biking in Fernie over the weekend. Our team has now become "The Bold and the Beautiful" with Sam Richards taking Mellissa's spot!

Adam Dahl Pledge Page ( details )

I have had a brain injury for 9 years now and this is the biggest thing I can think of that involves mountain biking and good life style skills to do something good for others less fortunate than myself. This is a great stepping stone for me to eventually get back to the working class. I have trained for over a month now to be able to finish this event and I still have 4 weeks left. Let's raise some money and have a good time doing and meeting new people. :D Pledges over $10 are tax deductible and every dollar helps Canadian Humanitarian build better lives for vulnerable children. Thank you so much for your support everyone. I have to up the goal now for a good challenge. :D You are all awesome.

Let's give back ( details )

This race has inspired to me give back more. The amount of money raised over the last few years has been phenomenal and the work Nic and Shea do behind to scenes is even more impressive. The efforts to run an event like this is a lot of work, especially with the end goal to raise money for Canadian Humanitarian efforts in Ethiopia. I fully support their mission and hope to raise funds and contribute to such a wonderful cause. Thank you, Evan Guthrie

Pooched Pair ( details )

Blaiso and I are mountain biking in a great race called Test of Humanity (www.testofhumanity.com). This race raises money to help support orphans and vulnerable children in Ethiopia. Money raised from the race has been used to build a school and a vegetable garden so the children attending the school will have food to eat every day. Money raised this year will be used to help vulnerable children in a community for families displaced and living on the outskirts of Addis. You can learn more about Canadian Humanitarian and why I am racing by watching a cool video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkB3UkTj4Ew. Please support us in this race by visiting our pledge page at https://ccnbikes.com/2014-test-humanity/pledge/search/ and making a donation.

I return after a year's absence with zeal, zest and reduced lung capacity, but what the hell........this is a phenomenal event that is far more about the fundraising than racing!

<h1>Test of Humanity 2014</h1> This is a cause I continue to devote my personal time and resources to, including a volunteer working trip to Ethiopia in 2013, and a future trip to Ethiopia in spring 2014 (some of my video and photo work is on this page).<br><br> While I recognize that there are issues all over the world, and even here at home, I think it is important to keep a global perspective when it comes to world issues. After all, we are all under the same sun.<br><br> <img src="http://ckstenberg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Turge-Ethiopia-6.jpg"><br><br><br> <h1>Canadian Humanitarian</h1> Canadian Humanitarian works with children in Ethiopia to educate and empower them to create their own futures, and to be a solution to their own cycle of poverty. <br><br> Having witnessed and worked with the organization firsthand, I can attest to the difference this is making in the lives of some extraordinary young people who otherwise might not have a chance at a good future. Education is the first step toward change. We receive it as a birthright here in Canada, and often take it for granted. In Ethiopia it is a true privilege to attend school, and a privilege not afforded to most. Your contribution, even a small one, will help a young Ethiopian student in ways that we in Canada cannot possibly fathom.<br><br> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/NVogBtP0pnA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <br><br><br> <h1>I Can't Say Enough Good Things About This Event</h1> <img src="http://ckstenberg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Chris-Stenberg-Test-Of-Humanity-4-2.jpg"><br><br><br> Locally, the Test of Humanity has become a marquee event here in the Okanagan. Not only do we have a fantastic event that really brings the community together, but we also have access to one of the best mountain bike playgrounds that I have ever ridden — thanks to the generous and tireless efforts of Shei and Nic Seaton who have volunteered countless hours to build and maintain trails in the area that makes up the race course. <br><br> "The Test" has become so notable that many people from other cities specifically seek it out. In short, this race has become a major draw for the Summerland and Penticton area. <br><br> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dkB3UkTj4Ew" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <br><br><br> <h1>Bike Racing for a Great Cause</h1> This year marks the first one that I will ride the race as a solo effort completing as many laps as possible in 4 hours. This also marks the first year in many that I have dedicated myself to a summer of hard cycling training. As many of you know, cycling and specifically mountain biking, has been a major part of my life since I was 9 years old, and it has continued to give to me in my life in all aspects from health to career. <br><br> <img src="http://ckstenberg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Chris-Stenberg-Whistler-Fondo-1.2.jpg"><br><br> If participating in this race is a way that I can give back to my sport and community, while helping out a little in the world, then I will be sure to give it my all out there on race day!<br><br> Thank you very much for reading, and for your kind thoughts and support!<br><br> Sincerely,<br><br> Chris <br><br><br> <img src="http://ckstenberg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Turge-Ethiopia-10.jpg"> <br><br> <img src="http://ckstenberg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Turge-Ethiopia-11.jpg"> <br><br> <img src="http://ckstenberg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/CKS_9722.jpg"> <br><br> <img src="http://ckstenberg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/CKS_9064.jpg"> <br><br><br><br> <h1>More About The Test of Humanity</h1>
