July 29 - The Team is Complete

Shavi, Marisa, and Bryan made it into Kampala safely and the travel team is now complete (minus Michael, who arrives in a couple of days).

Tess and Angela have spoken with customs and it appears that FedEx misinformed us - the crates are sitting at the Entebbe airport customs post awaiting payment of customs fees. Good news is that speaking with them seems to have clarified the point that our panels are duty free and lowered our customs liability to about 1.5 million shillings. John K. is headed to Entebbe with Tess and Angela tomorrow with documentation of the clinic's operations to try and get the shipment completely duty exempt.

The wire transfer went through and we have cash in Angela's Kampala account

Plan for Friday is to divide and conquer: purchase necessary electronic components so they can be trucked out to Ddegeya on Sat along with the crates. Also visit the customs post at Entebbe to finalize our customs liability and get that paid so the crates can be transferred on to Kampala. Also meet with a water NGO in the morning.

Wish us luck
