PSO, Uganda, Shipping Party (On Schedule!)
We got 355 adult bikes, including over 200 MTBs, and 101 children's bike into the container that is now winging it's way towards Uganda!
IT IS HERE!!!
Wednesday November 30th, 2011, UPDATE:
The trucking company was able to locate a 40' high cube shipping container.
We are loading today and tomorrow Thursday from 10 until 4.
We will start loading today but save half for Thursday.
In any case we have to complete the loading by Friday when it has to be returned to the rail yard.
Tuesday November 29th, 2011, UPDATE:
At the moment-5pm today, our trucker is unable to find a 40' high cube, so we may need to postpone this loading, the temperature tomorrow seems to want to cooperate-40deg with 10mph wind, however we may be without a container to load.
If a container appears tomorrow morning as promised, we will load as scheduled.
Any volunteers interested in helping are more than welcome to show up, if we don't have a box we will the heated shop upstairs open for volunteering ...
We are filling a container to ship bikes to the Prisoner Support Organization in Uganda the Wednesday after Thanksgiving.
