We invite you to a special screening of our documentary on Operation Ride East which is a cross country motorcycle ride in northeast India that was flagged off by Conrad Sangma the Chief Minister of Meghalaya and executed from 15 to 25 October 2019 to promote the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in northeast India and commemorate the 100th Anniversary since of the end of World War I.
The money raised from our ticket sales will be used to build an Eco Village Hub in Spring Valley Farm to train organic farmers from northeast India.
The 10 selected Ride East motorcycle riders followed a 1000 mile route riding on Royal Enfield Himalayan and Royal Enfield Bullet for 10 days across the picturesque northeastern states of India that share international borders with China, Myanmar, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. They started from Shillong in Meghalaya on 15 October and ride to the Lake of No Return on the India-Myanmar border south of Pangsau and ended the ride back in Shillong on 24 October in time to celebrate United Nations Day before taking off on 25 October.
Ride East will be executed annually to support Worldview Impact Foundation to bridge social entrepreneurs to organic farmers who are making a difference in northeast India but lack institutional support and market linkages to scale up their impact. These social entrepreneurs and organic farmers will be trained at Spring Valley Farm in collaboration with Green Route once the Eco Village Hub has been built. All the Carbon Neutral Riders of Ride East will offset all their carbon emissions by planting mangrove trees with Ecofriend World at Thor Heyerdahl Climate Park in Myanmar.
Following the historic ride of WWII Dispatcher Bikers, Ride East is engaging these socially conscious bikers, who will facilitate such support through strategic collaborations with like-minded organizations and individuals. We are building a Community On Wheels (COW) that will make a difference by providing support to social entrepreneurs. Ride East is now enabling the social entrepreneurs to create a bridge with small hold, organic farmers, in the northeastern states of India and bring sustainable development to the communities.
