A man from Spring Lake has been exporting New Jersey kindness to Africa for 20 years now.

David Brienza is in charge of a charity called Bike Town Africa. It's an effort to bring bicycles to the country of Malawi in Southeast Africa.

This month, 253 more bikes were delivered to several villages.

The bikes are intended for healthcare workers so they can get to remote patients sooner. They are also distributed to students so they can get to school.

Brienza has personally delivered over 6,000 bicycles in these 20 years, in addition to fundraising for the cause.
