*Hitchhiking
This address will be followed by the speech of [http://ludovichubler.com Ludovic Hubler] (a Frenchman who has just come back from a five-year hitchhiking journey around the world.
During his trip, Ludovic organized conferences in more than 200 schools, met a large number of NGOs and organized some international events to create a network between them.
*The Sustainable Side of the Project
The three organizers are also part of a French association called [http://www.nature-propre.org Nature Propre].
The association aims at promoting sustainable development through a certain number of programs and the 888 project is one of the key projects of Nature Propre.
==The checkpoint cities==
The goal of the checkpoint cities is to help hitchhikers through their journey through evening meetings and having volunteers on the spot every at dawn.The goal of having several rings is to ensure that we help hitchhikers to progressively get to Paris in all safety.
*The Morning Volunteers
There will be volunteers helping hitchhikers leave any given city on any given ring on the actual hitchhiking spot at dawn.
The volunteers will provide hitchhikers with tips and advice.
*The Evening Meetings
Every evening, in any given city, there will be an evening meeting.People who do not have any accomodation and find a place to stay.Hitchhikers can exchange good stories and share tips and advice.
Please write down your name next to your city and mention whether you would like to be a morning volunteer or a meeting organizer:
*If you are a morning volunteer you can then edit the meeting information regarding the actual spot hitchhikers will have to leave from and how to get there.
*If you are a evening organizer, you can then edit the meeting details once you click on your city]]
===Start on 388...August 3rd, 2008...Ring 1 (2500 to 3000Ks away)===
