Over the weekend BWB loaded 4-50 foot containers filled with building materials for the new school in Rwamanaga in Rwanda. About 170,000 pounds is ready to be trucked to Miami and then loaded onto a container ship for the long haul to Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania. From there it will be trucked almost 700 miles to Rwamanaga. The entire trip will take 65-90 days.
We are now about 4 months away from our trip to Rwanda and so far 10 people have signed up for week one and 12 people have signed up for week two.
