A big thank you to all the people who have donated money to help with shipping costs - $300 in the past few days, so we have now raised about $1400 of the $4500 we will need for shipping. A good start!
And an equally big thank you to those who have offered to help with the packing day! On a weekend soon, probably in April, a small group of people will be taking everything out of the container, putting in a trailer, and then packing everything back in scientifically so it won't shift around too much on the journey - and to make it easier for the people unpacking in Bougainville to identify what belongs to each group. It will be a big undertaking, and all offers of help will be gratefully accepted - even if you can spare only a short time! As soon as we have a date I'll post it here and email all the volunteers.
Please email me if you would like to help with either fundraising or packing.
And something else that would be really helpful would be to pass the word on to your friends, colleagues, Facebook contacts and anyone else who may be interested. The more the merrier!
