After a 6,000 km ride from South Africa to Uganda to raise school fees for Aids orphans early this year, members of the Uganda Bikers Association have decided to make their fundraising trips more often.
John Montgomery the head of the Association says they hope to make the internal rides an annual event.
Early this year, in collaboration with the UNAIDS and the ministry of Health, the twelve motorcyclists from Uganda rode 6,000km from Johannesburg to Kampala with an aim of raising both awareness and school fees for children living with HIV/Aids at Mbuya Children's Outreach Village.
The three weeks journey saw them pass through Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya and return back to Kampala on March 21.
