He cycles across Spain to raise money for his kids' school library

CASARES
Jan Doorakers lives in Casares and has three children at the Colegio Blas Infante there. The school library needed a boost and Jan came to the rescue. The photo shows him handing over a cheque for €3,300 which he collected  after cycling 2,300 kms in 23 days. He left his home town of Oisterwiik on May 8 for Paris, boarded a train to Perpignan and then crossed Spain from North to South all the way to Casares - about 100 kms a day. Councillor Pedro González and the school teachers were not only grateful but also amazed at the amount Jan collected, which will now go towards setting up a reading programme for the kids.
