Information:
The
Dresden Banjul Organisation (DBO) is a Gambian registered
NGO (14th December 2007 - No. A119) and the fundraising
charity arm for the car rally called the 'Dresden-Dakar-Banjul
Challenge' from Germany to the Gambia in order to distribute
goods and raise funds for schools, health,
relief work, and farming.
Its main aim is not about who can get to be the winner
of the race but about assisting the people of this small
West African country.
Private teams in small groups travel in trucks, saloons,
and 4WD vehicles over a 7,000 km route from Germany
through France, Spain then through the Sahara Desert
countries of Morocco, Mauritania and onto Dakar in Senegal
and terminating in The
Gambia. Drivers are expected to manage an average
for stages of 800km per day excluding border crossings,
rests and waiting times.
All the lorries and other vehicles are filled with products
that are urgently required with a particular emphasis
on teaching books, desks, chairs, medical monitoring
& diagnostic equipment and ambulances.
Money is raised
by the DBO is from the eventual auction of vehicles
that have taken part in the rally as well as private
individual donations
such as from the Association for Kehlitz Steffen.
