I haven't posted for a while, everything has been too hectic. Here you can see Tim celebrating at the end of a strenuous pupil-free day on Monday, packing the last-but-one load into the container. There was still some empty space so we went off to explore Reverse Garbage and they gave us a great deal on some Moonlight Cinema beanbags, the enormous bag of foam padding that looks about to fall on Tim's head, and a few other things. Everything should stay pretty tight inside the container now.
Exporting is hard work and every day brings new complications, but we are now within sight of the end. All being well, the container will leave Addison Road on Friday to get started on its long voyage to Buka. The women of HWC and BWF are getting excited too, looking forward to unpacking everything and setting up the Women's Centre and cafe in Buka town (BWF) and the Resource Centre and Safe House in the Hako area (HWC).
Many thanks to all the people who have helped in various ways - I'll expand on this later. So many people have been generous with their time, money, goods and expertise. We have received donations of over $6000 towards the project, which is wonderful and should cover the costs. If you'd like to donate and haven't got round to it, please contact us - any money left over from shipping costs will be shared between HWC and BWF for their projects.
