Seeing the container off.

Our container arrived at our house all ready for packing. The next step in the process was to load it up. What better way to load it then to get the help of our good friends John and Nate.






These guys obviously spent some time playing Tetris to warm up. Their help was so skilled that we had extra room in the container for another bureau, bikes and even some other items that are needed in Uganda. This included things like......

.... a shipment of solar batteries totaling 2,800 pounds. So how do you load all of those batteries in an efficient fashion? You call on your good neighbors Nick and Dan. They have this hand truck/ fork lift combo tool. With the use of their handy lift the batteries were  loaded in no time flat.





Now the container is on its way to Norfolk Virginia where it will be loaded on a ship to go around the tip of South Africa up to Kenya. From there it will go over land to Mbale Uganda. 

Thanks everyone for all your help!
