Another container is in planning, October 2009
After we returned from Zanzibar in July 2009 we confirmed by oath not to send another container in the near future, because it was a quite nerve-wracking endeavor. But as so often in life things turn out different than planned.
Hardly back from Africa sponsors donated an x-ray apparatus, big quantities of medical goods as well as school desks, chairs and blackboards. Needless to say we happily accepted everything, but how should we transport the load to Africa?? Oh, sure - per container ship!
So once again we are collecting all kinds of articles, because we want to charge the container to the maximum as the cost of fright is expensive.
In the meantime a storage place (www.myplace.ch) was found in Zurich-Oerlikon, for our private basements are full to bursting. On December 5th 2009 we will send the load off to Africa and if all goes well we will take delivery of the goods in Zanzibar by mid-January 2010.
